It takes approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds for the sun's rays to reach the Earth perpendicularly.
Ozone layer is situated in the stratosphere. It does not allow UV rays to enter.
The types of radiation that can reach the surface of Earth include visible light, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and some infrared radiation from the sun. Additionally, cosmic rays, which are high-energy particles from space, can also penetrate the Earth's atmosphere, although they are mostly absorbed. However, most harmful forms of radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays, are absorbed by the atmosphere and do not reach the surface.
The Sun produces three types of UV rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Roughly 95% of the UV rays that reach the Earth's surface are UVA rays, while about 5% are UVB rays. UVC rays are mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere.
There are three main types of ultraviolet (UV) rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA and UVB are the ones that reach the Earth's surface, while UVC is mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere.
Gamma rays from space are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere. However, gamma rays can still be detected on the ground as it is naturally emitted by radioactive decay occurring in rocks.
it takes about 8 min.
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, and thus they travel at the speed of light. If a star is one light year away, it will reach Earth in one year.
The amount of time it takes for ultraviolet rays to reach earth will vary depending various factors. Some common factors include time of day, latitude, weather conditions and so much more.

Almost all gamma rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, or deflected by the magnetosphere, but some do manage to get through. Those that reach the surface of the Earth are mostly secondary comic rays, which are produced when gamma rays or primary cosmic rays hit the top of the atmosphere.
One part of the earth is facing directly at one side of the earth the rays from the sun and that is what makes summer and when the rays are pointing further from the sun is winter. because the rays are harder to reach the earth.

it will take 1.5 times longer for light from the sun to get to mars than to get to earth
