What else can I help you with?
Almost all of the energy reaching the earth from the sun is in the form of?
Electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the form of visible light and infrared radiation. These wavelengths are responsible for heating the Earth's surface and driving processes like photosynthesis.
What electromagnetic radiation cannot reach the Earth's surface?
Extreme ultraviolet and X-rays are mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere before reaching the surface. This absorption helps protect living organisms from the harmful effects of these high-energy radiations.
What is infrared radiation-?
Infrared radiation is when earths surface radiates some of earths surface back into the atmosphereinfrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which involves waves rather than particles. This means that unlike conduction and convection radiation can even pass through the vacuum of space.infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted in the form of heat. infrared radiation is invisible
Does reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent ozone from reaching earths surface?
Yes, reflection and absorption by the atmosphere can prevent some ozone from reaching Earth's surface. Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs much of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation, protecting the Earth's surface from harmful UV rays. However, some ozone does reach the surface, where it can also have positive effects, such as reducing air pollution.
Which gas prevents damaging ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching earths surface?
Ozone
What percent radiation is lost after reaching earth's surface?
about 5% of radiation is lost before reaching Earth's surface

What percent of radiation is lost after reaching Eart's surface?
5%
What ultraviolet radiation is blocked from reaching the earth's surface by what substance found in the atmosphere?
Ultraviolet radiation is blocked from reaching the Earth's surface by the ozone layer found in the atmosphere. The ozone layer absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface and causing damage to living organisms.
How radiation affected by surface temperature?
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
What electromagnetic radiation cannot reach the Earth's surface?
Extreme ultraviolet and X-rays are mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere before reaching the surface. This absorption helps protect living organisms from the harmful effects of these high-energy radiations.
What does the atmosphere absorb to protect earth?
The atmosphere absorbs harmful radiation from the sun, such as ultraviolet (UV) rays, through the ozone layer. This protection helps prevent this radiation from reaching the Earth's surface and harming living organisms.
What happens if the Earth did not have a magnetic field?
More radiation reaching the Earth's surface.
What is infrared radiation-?
Infrared radiation is when earths surface radiates some of earths surface back into the atmosphereinfrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which involves waves rather than particles. This means that unlike conduction and convection radiation can even pass through the vacuum of space.infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted in the form of heat. infrared radiation is invisible
Is ocean waves electromagnetic radiation?
No, ocean waves are not electromagnetic radiation. Ocean waves are physical oscillations of the water surface caused by the wind's energy transfer, while electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that travels through space in the form of waves.
Does reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent ozone from reaching earths surface?
Yes, reflection and absorption by the atmosphere can prevent some ozone from reaching Earth's surface. Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs much of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation, protecting the Earth's surface from harmful UV rays.
