What else can I help you with?
The Earth's surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere?
Yes, the Earth's surface absorbs about 50% of the Sun's incoming solar radiation, while the atmosphere absorbs about 20%. The absorbed energy is then re-emitted by the Earth's surface as infrared radiation.
What is the role of ozone in earths atmosphere?
See "What does the ozone layer do?" in the "Related questions" section below.
How much radiation does the atmosphere absorb?
The Earth's atmosphere absorbs different amounts of radiation depending on the wavelength. It absorbs most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation and some infrared radiation, helping to regulate the Earth's temperature. Overall, the atmosphere acts as a protective shield, allowing only a small portion of harmful radiation to reach the Earth's surface.
What type of substance is heated by radiation?
Any substance that absorbs the radiation is heated by it.
What is the uv radiation that absorbs oxygen compound?
Ozone (O3) is the ultraviolet radiation that absorbs oxygen molecules in the stratosphere. UV radiation breaks apart oxygen molecules (O2), allowing the loose oxygen atoms to combine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone.
Why does earths atmosphere absorb radiation?
It absorbs radiation to protect it. It protects from UV rays.
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What part of the earths atmosphere absorbs the radiation that causes skin cancer?
green house effect
What is the gas that absorbs much of the incoming ultraviolet radiation from the earths sun?
Ozone is the gas. This is present as ozone layer.
Which gas in earths upper atmosphere is beneficial to humans because it absorbs large amounts of ultraviolet radiation?
ozone layer
Which of the following substances absorbs UV radiation?
The substance that absorbs UV radiation is ozone.
The Earth's surface absorbs more radiant energy from the sun than the atmosphere?
Yes, the Earth's surface absorbs about 50% of the Sun's incoming solar radiation, while the atmosphere absorbs about 20%. The absorbed energy is then re-emitted by the Earth's surface as infrared radiation.
What layer of the earths atmosphere includes a region of ozone which absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
There is a region in atmosphere containing ozone. It is called ozone layer.
What blocks most ultraviolet radiation from entering earths serface?
The ozone layer in Earth's stratosphere mostly blocks ultraviolet radiation from entering the surface. It absorbs the majority of harmful UVB and UVC radiation, allowing only UVA and some UVB radiation to reach the surface.
What gas absorbs UV radiation in the Earth's atmosphere?
Ozone gas absorbs UV radiation in the Earth's atmosphere.
What does the atmosphere do to some of the radiation?
It absorbs some of the radiation. The radiation is UV rays.
What gas absorbes a large portion of ultravionlet radiation in the stratosphere?
Ozone gas absorbs it. It absorbs the ultraviolet radiation of the sun.
