Do ultraviolet waves get through earth's atmosphere?
Yes, some ultraviolet (UV) waves can penetrate Earth's atmosphere. However, the ozone layer in the stratosphere filters out much of the harmful UV radiation, particularly the most dangerous UV-C waves. UV-A and UV-B waves are partially absorbed by the atmosphere but can still reach the Earth's surface.
