It prevents harmful electromagnetic rays from reaching the ground. These include x-rays and gamma rays.
Answer2: An outer layer of the atmosphere, the stratosphere, contains a form of oxygen called ozone, which absorbs 99 percent of incoming ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The ozone layer helps to protect many forms of life including humans and plankton from dangerous radiation. The amount of stratospheric ozone is not fixed but is directly proportional to the intensity of UV radiation, make the ozone layer a dynamic, efficient shield. The atmosphere also protects us from a barrage of millions of meteoroids ranging in size from tiny particles to boulder. Fortunately, the majority of these burn up in the atmosphere, becoming bright flashes of light called meteors. Earth's shield does not block radiation that is essential to life, such as heat and visible light. The atmosphere even helps distribute the heat around the globe, and at night the atmosphere acts as a blanket, slowing the escape of heat.

What else can I help you with?
Does the ozone layer act like a shield to protect us from ultraviolet radiation?
Yes it does. It acts as a shield.
Which gases help form the earths protective shield?
The Earth's protective shield is primarily formed by gases like oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3) in the atmosphere. These gases help absorb and block harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun, protecting life on Earth from its damaging effects. Additionally, nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere helps maintain a stable balance of gases that contribute to Earth's protective shield.
How does the magnetosphere happen?
If we did not have the Magnetosphere we would die from harmful Solar Wind that the Magnetosphere blocks. The Magnetosphere is like our personal shield along with our atmosphere!
What is full form of CFC that destroy ozone shield?
Chlorofluorocarbons. This is the full form of CFC that destroy the ozone shield in our atmosphere.
Does cardboard act as a magnetic shield?
No, cardboard does not act as a magnetic shield. Magnetic shields are typically made of materials with high magnetic permeability, such as mu-metal or ferrite. Cardboard does not have the properties necessary to shield against magnetic fields.
Does the ozone layer act as a shield between us and ultraviolent rays?
Yes, it acts as a shield. It is present in the stratosphere.
How does carbon dioxide in the atmosphere act like a greenhouse?
Sunlight that travels from the sun, through the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the Earth will heat up the Earth, including the atmosphere.Carbon Dioxide then will act like a blanket to all this heat, keeping it from being expelled out of Earth's atmosphere and into space.That is the effect a greenhouse has with moderating the temperature for the incumbent vegetation.
How does the atmosphere on venus act like a greenhouse?
The atmosphere is very thick because of all the Carbon Dioxide. Therefore, it holds in the sun's heat which is not allowed to escape.
What layer in the atmosphere that shield's life on earth from sun rays?
The atmosphere is the one that shields us. It is specifically shielded by the ozone layer.
Which planet has a magnetic shield?
All planets have magnetic fields. I believe that in most cases, this magnetic field can act as a shield.
What is the space in which magnet can act?
Magnetism is important in space in that space is filled with charged bodies that are moved by the magnetism. An example is, the Earth Magnetic shield deflects charged particles and protects the earth's atmosphere.
What is the earths shield called that protects it from space debris?
The Earth's shield that protects it from space debris is called the atmosphere. The atmosphere acts as a protective layer, burning up most incoming objects before they reach the Earth's surface.
