∙ 12y agoNo, carbon dioxide primarily absorbs infrared radiation (heat) in the Earth's atmosphere. It plays a role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat within the atmosphere. Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by other gases such as ozone in the stratosphere.
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).
Algae and marine plants
Ozone does as done carbon black and special chemicals - UV absorbers such as benzotriazoles and others also.
Ozone is the substance in the Earth's atmosphere that absorbs a significant amount of ultraviolet radiation from the sun. It forms a protective layer in the stratosphere that shields the Earth's surface from harmful UV rays.
Gases in the atmosphere absorb radiation at different wavelengths. For example, water vapor and carbon dioxide absorb infrared radiation, while ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation. The absorption of these different wavelengths of radiation plays a crucial role in the Earth's energy balance and climate system.

Warming in the stratosphere is mainly caused by the absorption of ultraviolet radiation from the sun by ozone molecules. This process leads to an increase in temperature with altitude in the stratosphere.
Carbon dioxide and water vapor absorb infrared radiation from the sun and the Earth's surface, contributing to the greenhouse effect and trapping heat in the atmosphere.
No, during photosynthesis plants uptake carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to produce glucose and oxygen as a byproduct.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) do not absorb UV radiation because their molecular structure does not allow them to interact with UV photons effectively. CFC molecules are not capable of absorbing the high-energy UV radiation due to their specific bond strengths and electronic configuration. This lack of interaction with UV radiation is one reason why CFCs were once widely used in refrigerants and aerosols, contributing to ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere.
