Light energy travels in the form of?
They travels in the form of waves and are filtered through the Earth's atmosphere.
In which region of the electromagnetic spectrum is most of the outgoing radiation from earth?
Aside from all the radio signals generated by Man, the Earth radiates primarily in the Infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. This consists of reflected and re-radiated solar heat and 'black body' radiation from the Earth itself. (The reflected radiation includes some components of shorter wavelength such as visible light, but the re-radiated component is essentially all infrared.)
What are some positive and negative things about ultraviolet light?
UV rays are electromagnetic waves have shorter wavelength than that of visible light(10nm to 400nm) It can cause chemical changes, hence causes many substance to glow It is non ionizing radiation It can cause damage to living beings(harmful to humans) and is blocked by ozone layer It may leads to cancer It produces heat in surface of earth Used to prevent counterfeiting UV rays are used for wireless communication also
Ions Trapped in the Earth's magnetic field give rise to?
ultraviolet radiation
Where is the strongest electromagnetic force on earth found?
The strongest electromagnetic force on Earth is found between the North and the South Poles. The source of the force is found in the core of the Earth, which is rotating slightly faster than the Earth's own rotation, creating a generator of immense proportions.

Shorter electromagnetic waves which reach the earth included gamma rays X-ray and ultraviolet rays?
true
Which type of electromagnetic waves are absorbed by earth and change to heat?
ultraviolet rays
Which type of electromagnetic radiation does the ozone layer prevent from reaching the surface of the earth?
Ultraviolet waves
What is absorbed by the earth changing the rays to heat?
ultraviolet rays are absorbed by the earth changing the rays to heat
What energy comes from the sun reaches to the earth?
Electromagnetic energy of every kind. This includes light, heat, ultraviolet, gamma rays, x-rays and every possible frequency of electromagnetic radiation.
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.
Light energy travels in the form of?
They travels in the form of waves and are filtered through the Earth's atmosphere.
Which layer of the earth atmosphere protects the earth from dangerous ultraviolet?
The ozone layer. It protects from ultraviolet.
How does heat from the Sun travel through the vacuum of space to the Earth?
The Sun's energy is transmitted by electromagnetic radiation, with most of the heat caused by ultraviolet radiation striking the Earth's surface. This heat is re-radiated by infrared radiation.
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
