Except earth and Venus, no other planet has atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere absorbs UV rays due to presence of Ozone but Venus does not have Ozone and it's atmosphere is made up of greenhouse gases.

Do any outer planets have the greenhouse effect?

Yes, outer planets like Jupiter and Saturn have the greenhouse effect, but it is not as significant as on Earth due to their different compositions and much larger distances from the Sun. These planets have thick atmospheres with gases that trap heat, contributing to their overall temperatures.


How does other green houses gases trap light from sunlight in the ozone layer in the atmosphere?

Other greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide absorb infrared radiation (heat) that is emitted from the Earth's surface, trapping it in the atmosphere. This trapped heat contributes to the warming of the atmosphere, similar to how the ozone layer absorbs and traps incoming ultraviolet rays from the sun.


Why and how does our atmosphere protect us from the electromagnetic spectrum?

the thickness of the atmosphere attenuates gamma rays to safe levels at the surfacethe thickness of the atmosphere attenuates x-rays to safe levels at the surfaceozone in the top layer of the stratosphere absorbs most ultravioletthe atmosphere does not significantly absorb or attenuate visible lightwater vapor in the atmosphere absorbs most infraredwater vapor in the atmosphere attenuates microwavesthe atmosphere does not significantly absorb or attenuate radio waves of longer wavelength than microwaves


What dangerous radiation does the atmosphere absorb?

The Earth's atmosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, particularly UVB and UVC rays. This helps to protect life on Earth from the harmful effects of excessive UV radiation, such as sunburn, skin cancer, and cataracts.


What are gasses in the atmosphere that absorb solar radiation called?

The ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.These atmospheric gases, also referred to as greenhouse gases, absorb solar radiation and cause a rise in temperature.

When infrared rays go up in the atmosphere does the ozone layer absorb it?

No it does not. Ozone layer only absorbs UV radiations.


What do some of the gases in the earths atmosphere absorb?

Ozone gas is present as ozone layer. It absorbs the UV rays of the sun.


Describe how gases and particles in the atmosphere interact with light rays?

Gases and particles in the atmosphere can scatter and absorb light rays as they pass through. Scattering occurs when the light rays are redirected in various directions, while absorption involves the particles absorbing the light energy. These interactions with gases and particles can affect the color and intensity of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface.


What things absorb energy in the Atmosphere?

there are plenty of things in the atmosphere that absorb energy. most obvious known is ozone that absorbs harmful UV rays from the sun. Also there is dust/dirt particles in the atmosphere that are so small that when a beam of light hits it, it reflects blue light giving the impression of a blue atmosphere.


Do any other planets have an atmosphere that shelters it from the sun's rays?

yes, some other planets like Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have atmospheres
