This layer protects the earth from the harmful UV rays of the sun. As per a recent study, scientists have deeply explored variations in this layer and its depletion in larger amounts in the poles which is commonly termed as ozone hole. This is considered as one of the m...
What does the stratosphere protect us from?Stratosphere:The stratosphere is the second layer of the atmosphere that is between the altitudes of 10 to 50 km. It has the troposphere below it and the mesosphere is above it. It is separated from the troposphere by the tropopause and the strato...
Thanks to the coverage of Earth’s atmosphere and the ozone layer, not every ray from the sun reaches Earth.As for UV rays, there are two main types that reach us: UVA and UVB. If you’ve heard the recommendation to put sunscreen on to prevent wrinkles, the signs of aging, and ...
temperatures in this layer can soar to as high as 4,500 degrees Fahrenheit. This intense heat is primarily due to the absorption of high-energy X-rays and ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun. However, because the gas molecules
This leads to a plague of pests, mildews, molds, fungi, diseases, and ultimately the shredding of our precious ozone layer that protects us from dangerous UV rays, according to Dane Wigington, a solar expert. In California’s Mount Shasta region, Francis Mangel, a USDA Wildlife Biologist ...
A base layer shirt is the foundation of your workout gear, keeping you warm, dry and comfortable for any activity.
A polar bear’s fur willabsorb much of the UV lightthat strikes it. We put on sunscreen to protect ourselves from harmful UV rays, but polar bears use UV rays to their advantage. With an astonishing 95% efficiency, their white fur iscapable of convertingsolar radiation into heat, which ...
Many activities in Bali are synonymous with water, so your lifeline will need an extra layer of defense. We love that this one allows you to take underwater photos and videos while protecting your device from water, scratches, dust, and sand. It’s too affordable and important to forgo. ...
The absorption of energy from UV rays is caused by damage to the skin. On the immune system, over-exposure to UV radiation has a detrimental suppressing outcome. Damaging of the tissues of eyes occurs due to extended revelation to UV or high intensities of UV and can become a reason for ...
Observations of a pulsar's rays using the VLT telescope in Chile showed evidence of a vacuum birefringence. This is an interesting feature of optics in which light passes through a special material layer before returning to the original conditions it had been before entering. As the light goes ...
