The gas in Earths atmosphere that absorbs UV radiation is Ozone in an area of the stratosphere called the ozone layer, 10-50km up.
Containing 3 Oxygen atoms compared to molecular (diatomic) oxygen that we breath with 2 oxygen molecules.

What gases in the atmosphere absorb infrared radiation and Which gases absorb ultraviolet?
Some of the gases found in our atmosphere which absorb infrared light are: carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Gases found in our atmosphere which absorb ultraviolet light are ozone (O3) and oxygen gas (O2).
Does the thermosphere absorb ultraviolet?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is in the stratosphere. So, the thermosphere does not absorb radiation.
What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
What is the most important gas in the atmosphere that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
The most important gas which absorbs Uv radiations from the sun is ozone. This ozone is present in the form of ozone layer in the atmosphere.
Which gases absorb ultraviolent radiation?
The gas which absorb ultraviolet radiation is ozone. It absorbs the harmful Uv radiations from the sun.

Does the thermosphere absorb ultraviolet?
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is in the stratosphere. So, the thermosphere does not absorb radiation.
The amount of ultraviolet radiation hitting the Earth's surface is greatly reduced by which gas in the atmosphere?
Short wavelength radiation such as Ultraviolet fall to absorption spectrum band of Ozone. Ozone absorb UV and re-emitted the radiation in the range of infrared or thermal range radiation.

Which layer of the atmosphere does not absorb solar radiation?
Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
What dangerous radiation does the atmosphere absorb?
The atmosphere absorb UV radiations. They are absorbed by ozone layer.
What do the phosphors inside fluorescent bulbs absorb to create a glow?
Ultraviolet Radiation.
Does carbon dixoide absorb ultraviolet radiation?
False, Ozone absorbs UV.
What are gasses in the atmosphere that absorb solar radiation called?
The ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.These atmospheric gases, also referred to as greenhouse gases, absorb solar radiation and cause a rise in temperature.
