What is the name of the layer of earth's atmosphere that adsorbs the majority of the potentially damaging ultraviolet light from the sun?
I don't know why are you asking me shouldn't you know ,I'm not talk to whoever reads it P.S. you
On a cloudy day Earth's surface receives?
On a cloudy day, Earth gets UV radiation from the sun. Clouds do reduce the amount of UV rays that reach the earth but do not completely stop the damaging rays.
How are Indians damaging the environment of India?
by litering
Which damaging forces are associated with earthquakes?
aftershocks
In what region have damaging earthquakes been concentrated?
in a place
What layer of gas shields organisms from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation?
The ozone layer shields us from ultraviolet radiation.
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
Does Melanin help to protect skin cell DNA from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation?
YES
The Earth's ionosphere partially blocks which form of electromagnetic radiation?
Ultraviolet radiation is blocked by the ozone layer in the lower stratosphere. It blocks 97â??99% of the Sun's UV rays, preventing them from damaging life on the surface of the planet.
Which atmosphere layer blocks radiaton from the sun?
The ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, and it blocks radiation. Specifically it blocks ultraviolet radiation, which is damaging to life. It only blocks about 98%, so it is still important to be wary of this type of radiation at the surface.
Could the sun's radiation one day possibly give mars the power to hold life?
The problem with Mars is not that there is insufficient insolation but the lack of water and atmosphere. The thin atmosphere means that too much ultraviolet radiation reaches the surface (ultraviolet is extremely damaging to single-celled organisms); the problem with the lack of water should be obvious.
Why does black skin reflect the sun's rays?
It does not reflect solar radiation as well as lighter skin, although perspiration would influence that. Dark skin contains melanin, a pigment that gives skin more protection from the damaging effect of ultraviolet radiation.
What is damaging ultraviolet light from the sun?
the ozone layer is the correct answer.
What part of the cell is particularly at risk from exposure to ultra-violet rays?
Both ultraviolet radiation and damaging oxygen radicals caused by sun exposure may damage cells, particularly their DNA.
The radiation that is most damaging to humans is?
Gamma radiation is most damaging to humans.
What are the dangers of ultraviolet rays?
some of the dangers of ultraviolet rays are that the light or radiation can be very damaging to your eye. UV rays are the same ones that damage and age your skin and they can cause very serious long term damage to your eyes unless you have the proper protection. these days, sunglasses can block most of the radiation of such as Oakley half jacket jet black/ black Iridium polarized.
What is the type of oxygen that absorbs damaging ultraviolet rays from the sun?
Ozone (O3)
