Is all radiation absorbed in the earths atmosphere is absorbed in what atmosphere?

Most of the radiation absorbed in Earth's atmosphere is absorbed in the ozone layer, which is a region of the stratosphere that contains a high concentration of ozone molecules. Ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun, protecting life on Earth from its harmful effects.


What in the atmosphere has a uv ray from the sun?

Ultraviolet radiation from the sun passes through the atmosphere and reacts with plants, animals and the soil and water - unless it is absorbed by chemical reactions that it initiates in the upper atmosphere.


How much of ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the sun?

None, the sun emits UV.


How much of the ultraviolet radition from the sun is absorbed by oxygen and ozone?

Most of it is absorbed. UV is the harmful radiation of the sun.


What form of radiation can be shielded by the earth's atmosphere?

The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.


Where is most ultraviolet radiation absorbed?

Most ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere. This layer of ozone helps to protect life on Earth by absorbing and filtering out much of the harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun before it reaches the surface.


Infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation make up most of the energy Earth receives from the sun?

Yes, infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation make up the majority of the energy Earth receives from the sun. Infrared radiation warms the Earth's surface while ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer in the atmosphere. Both types of radiation play important roles in Earth's climate and ecosystems.


How much of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed by oxygen and ozone?

95-99.9%


Which layer of the atmosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation?

The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.


Why doesn't the ultraviolet radiation from the sun reach the ground?

Most of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer in the Earth's atmosphere, which acts as a protective shield. Only a small amount of UV radiation reaches the Earth's surface, and this limited exposure is important for processes like vitamin D synthesis in humans, but excessive UV radiation can be harmful.


What form of radiation can be shielded by earths atmosphere?

The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.


What protects the earth from high energy light, such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun?

The ozone layer in the Earth's atmosphere protects it from high energy light, like ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
