In the exosphere, the gases are ionized but the gases are so sparse, the light intensity is barely affected. In the thermosphere, most X-rays (and gamma rays from space) are absorbed, but the density is high enough that molecules can reform. Some small amount of ozone is created from oxygen here. In the stratosphere, gas density is high enough that by the bottom of the stratosphere, there is no significant UV-C left. The UV-C shatters any oxygen or nitrogen (even ozone) molecules it encounters... and some ozone is made. Any light that is absorbed by gases, that is not stored as more complex molecules, is released eventually as heat or stored as thermal energy.

What happens after the suns rays hit the earth?

After the sun's rays hit the Earth, the energy is absorbed by the land, water, and atmosphere. This energy is converted into heat, which warms the Earth's surface and drives the planet's weather patterns and climate.


What are facts about each sun's atmosphere?

Sun's atmosphere releases various rays. UV is one of them.


Do the sun rays refract?

The sun's rays are scattered by gases in the atmosphere. They also refract through water droplets in the lower atmosphere to create rainbows.


What is the direct ray of the sun?

The direct rays of the sun are rays from the sun that hit a certain area.


Why do the northen lights happen?

I think it has something to do with the moon and the Sun. I think it happens when the Sun's rays hit the moon at just the right angle.


How do the layers of the atmosphere protect the earth from sun rays?

Ozone protects us from harmful UV rays, They are fatal rays of the sun.


Does the atmosphere protect you from the harmful rays of the sun?

Yes, it does. The ozone layer protects us from the UV rays of the sun.


Why is the sun's intensity different at different area of the earth?

It depends on how much atmosphere it has to go through, the further away FM the equator you are the more the earth curves so the suns rays enter at an angle, meaning that it has to go through more atmosphere. Whereas on the equator the suns rays travel strait so there is less atmosphere to go though, make the suns rays more intense


Which layer of gas molecules in the atmosphere is bombraded with rays from the sun?

The layer of gas molecules in the atmosphere that is bombarded with rays from the sun is the thermosphere. It is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere where solar radiation impacts the molecules, leading to high temperatures and the presence of the ionosphere.


Ozone gas in earth's atmosphere absorbs infrares rays from sun?

Ozone gas in earth's atmosphere absorbs UV rays. It does not absorb infrared rays.
