How does the ozone layer shield the earth from much of the suns harmful radiation?
The ozone layer shields the earth from sun's harmful radiations. These are UV rays which can cause various fatal problems to living organisms.
What protect us from the suns harmful radiation?
The Earth's atmosphere acts as a protective shield against the sun's harmful radiation by absorbing and scattering much of it. The ozone layer, specifically found in the stratosphere, also absorbs a significant amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, particularly the most harmful UV-B and UV-C rays. Additionally, the Earth's magnetic field helps deflect solar wind and cosmic rays that could be harmful to life on Earth.
Does the earth intersects with most of the suns radiation?
No, the Earth does not intercept most of the Sun's radiation. In fact, only about 1/2,000,000th of the Sun's total energy output reaches the Earth, as much of it disperses in space. Approximately 70% of the incoming solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land, while the rest is reflected back into space. This balance is crucial for maintaining the planet's climate and supporting life.
If earths albedo was higher but earth was farther from the sun could the earth have the same temperature?
No, if Earth's albedo was higher and it was farther from the sun, it would receive less solar radiation, leading to cooler temperatures overall. Albedo affects how much incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space, but distance from the sun determines how much solar radiation reaches Earth in the first place.
How does the effect of the suns gravity on Pluto compare to the effect of the suns gravity on earth?
well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays
How much of the energy that reaches earth is supplied by the sun through the radiation?
All of it. Earth doesn't receive a significant amount of radiation through any other means.All of it. Earth doesn't receive a significant amount of radiation through any other means.All of it. Earth doesn't receive a significant amount of radiation through any other means.All of it. Earth doesn't receive a significant amount of radiation through any other means.
What causes the earth to receive too much UV radiation?
The earth's location is the reason. It is the reason why earth receives so much UV.
How much radiation and heat can a seed handle?
They can only survive the suns radiation.
How might a thick puffy cloud reflect a different amount of the Sun's radiation than a thin wispy one?
Thick puffy cloud reflects suns radiation thick clouds reflect radiation keeping earth cool. Thin wispy cloud reflects sun radiation thin don't reflect as much radiation allowing the earth to warm.

Why is much of the sun's radiation reflected back in to space by earth?
Such reflection is called the albedo. For the earth it is 30 - 35%
How much radiation do we get in a day?
On average, we receive about 10-30 microsieverts of radiation per day from natural sources such as the sun, Earth, and cosmic rays. This level of radiation is considered safe and is not harmful to human health.
How much radiation would a passenger receive in a 7 hour airplane flight?
Radiation? You don't get radiation flying!

How much of the suns energy is actually received here on earth?
~.08
How much of the suns energy reaches the earth's surface?
its about just 1%
