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
How does the ozone layer reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earths surface?
Ozone is (relatively) opaque to ultraviolet light.
Why you must keep the ban on CFCs?
Because it pokes holes in the ozone layer allowing the suns ultraviolet rays to enter at full strength instead of at a lighter strength.CFC's must be banned because they make holes in the ozone layer allowing the Sun's ultraviolet light to enter the earth's atmosphere heavily instead of lightly.We should keep the ban on cfc's as they are a gas that reacts with the ozone layer that then creates holes in it. If there are holes in the ozone that means that ultraviolet light can get down to earth stronger and cause more people toget skin cancer and eye damage. The ozone layer also helps to make radiation harmless to humans. Basically if there was no ozone layer then wqould be no humans.
What is the lowest layer of the sun's atmosphere that gives off light?
binary system
Is infrared light blocked or unblocked form the earths atmosphere?
UV-C and more energetic light, UV-B as ozone can intercept it, a tiny bit of blue by various things (including ozone), much of the infrared, and much of the microwave ranges are absorbed by the atmosphere.
What layer of th earth protects us from the sun and what does it do to protect us from the sun?
The Ozone layer (high up in the atmosphere), this layer is both created by the action of ultraviolet light (from the Sun) on the oxygen molecules in the atmosphere and shields the biosphere from that same ultraviolet radiation.
Which layer of the skin is associated with protection from the ultraviolet light?
The O-zone layer protects us from UV rays emitted from the sun.
What gas in the atmosphere protects living things from ultraviolet light?
ozone
In which layer of the atmosphere is most of the ultraviolet light block?
The ozone layer (in the stratosphere).
In which layer of the atmosphere is the most of the ultraviolet light blocked?
The ozone layer (in the stratosphere).
In which of the layer of the atmosphere is most of the ultraviolet light blocked?
The ozone layer (in the stratosphere).
What atmospheric layer protects living things by absorbing harmful ultraviolet light?
Answer: Ozone Layer
The ozone shield is an interaction between ultraviolet light and ozone that takes place in the?
This phenomenon acts as in the stratospheric region the atmosphere. In this layer the ozone layer is present which protects us from the harmful Uv rays.
What layer of earth protects its atmosphere?
The atmosphere protects the earth, it abosrbs the gamma rays and other harmful light rays
How can you protect your skin from the ozone layer?
You have that a bit backwards- the ozone Layer of the Earth's atmosphere protects your skin- by blocking ultraviolet light from the sun. If the ozone layer is reduced, you are exposed to more UV light. You protect yourself from THAT with sunscreen, a hat, long sleeves, and by staying in the shade.
The what screens out most of the harmful ultraviolet light from the sun?
The ozone layer in our upper atmosphere.
What is the name of the layer of Earth's atmosphere that absorbs the majority of the potential damaging ultraviolet light from the sun?
The ozone layer
