The ozone layer does not reflect the sun's rays because it is made up of ozone molecules that absorb and block harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The ozone layer acts as a protective shield, absorbing UV rays and preventing them from reaching the Earth's surface where they can cause harm to living organisms.

Where does the UV ray get absorbed?

UV rays are mainly absorbed by the ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere. The ozone layer acts as a protective barrier, absorbing most of the UV radiation before it reaches the Earth's surface. Some UV rays still penetrate the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface, where they can be absorbed by air, water, and land.


What layer of the atmosphere is harmful UV radiation absorbed?

Harmful UV radiation is mainly absorbed by the ozone layer, which is located in the stratosphere of the atmosphere. The ozone layer helps protect Earth by absorbing most of the sun's harmful UV radiation before it reaches the surface.


Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed in the atmosphere?

Most visible light is bounced back into space, while some of it is absorbed into the atmosphere.


What layer of atmosphere is radio waves?

the lonosphere


What is most of earths ultraviolet radiation absorbed by?

The atmosphere and especially the ozone layer


The solar radiation least absorbed by the layers of the atmosphere before reaching Earth is?

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.


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.


In which atmosphere layer contains electrically charged particles that reflect radio waves?

The ionosphere - specifically the e-layer


The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radition absorbed by certain heat absorbing gases is called?

The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. This effect traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.


What cause the change in temperature?

Every layer of the atmosphere changes in degree because the way solar energy is absorbed it moves downward through the atmosphere.


What are two forms of radiation that are reduced by the atmosphere?

Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by ozone in the ozone layer. Low-energy (long wavelength) radiation, including infrared, microwave, and radio waves, is typically deflected by atmospheric particles.


What is the heating lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat absorbing gases is called?

The Greenhouse Effect.
