Question

the sun emits a few different types of radiation that travel through space and reach earth. which type of solar radiation is largely absorbed by the earths atmosphere and does not reach the surface? visible light ultraviolet (uv) radiation ultraviolet c (uvc) rays

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Ultraviolet C (UVC) rays have a very short wavelength. The Earth's atmosphere, especially the ozone layer, effectively absorbs UVC rays. Visible light can reach the Earth's surface. While some UV radiation (like UVB and UVA) can reach the surface (though UVB is partially absorbed), UVC is almost entirely absorbed by the atmosphere.

Answer:

ultraviolet C (UVC) rays
