The gas in Earths atmosphere that absorbs UV radiation is Ozone in an area of the stratosphere called the ozone layer, 10-50km up.
Containing 3 Oxygen atoms compared to molecular (diatomic) oxygen that we breath with 2 oxygen molecules.
Some of the gases found in our atmosphere which absorb infrared light are: carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Gases found in our atmosphere which absorb ultraviolet light are ozone (O3) and oxygen gas (O2).
The ozone layer, which is found within the stratosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere, helps protect the Earth from the dangerous ultraviolet radiation of the sun. Ozone molecules in this layer absorb and scatter the majority of the sun's ultraviolet radiation before it reaches the Earth's surface.
No, not all radiation absorbed in the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed in the stratosphere. Different layers of the atmosphere absorb different types of radiation. For example, the ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs a significant amount of ultraviolet radiation, but other layers like the troposphere also absorb certain wavelengths of radiation.
No, carbon dioxide primarily absorbs infrared radiation (heat) in the Earth's atmosphere. It plays a role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat within the atmosphere. Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by other gases such as ozone in the stratosphere.
The Earth's atmosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, particularly UVB and UVC rays. This helps to protect life on Earth from the harmful effects of excessive UV radiation, such as sunburn, skin cancer, and cataracts.

The oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is not able to absorb ultraviolet radiation. It is the ozone layer, made up of O3 molecules, that absorbs most of the Sun's harmful UV radiation before it reaches the surface of the Earth.

No, not all the radiation absorbed in the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed in the stratosphere. Different layers of the atmosphere absorb different amounts of radiation. The stratosphere mainly absorbs ultraviolet radiation, while other layers like the troposphere absorb various wavelengths of radiation as well.
Ultraviolet radiation is the solar radiation least absorbed by the layers of the atmosphere before reaching Earth. This is due to the ozone layer, which helps to absorb and block a significant portion of the incoming ultraviolet radiation.

The Earth itself does not emit ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation primarily comes from the sun, which emits different wavelengths of light including ultraviolet radiation. When the Earth is exposed to sunlight, it can absorb and reflect this ultraviolet radiation.
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is in the stratosphere. So, the thermosphere does not absorb radiation.

No, ammonia does not absorb ultraviolet (UV) light. In fact, it is transparent to UV radiation.
