A photo of the Earth from orbit showing the thin blue atmosphere and white clouds
Kryton with an atomic mass of 40 and atomic number of 19 breaks down to Argon with an atomic mass of 40 and an atomic number of 18 plus an electron and a neutrino
A chemical equation showing how UVC breaks down oxygen gas into two oxygen atoms
A chemical equation showing oxgygen gas reacting with free oxygen atoms to create ozone. The reverse reaction is facilitated by UVA and UVB,
A table showing the bond energy of common molecules in the atmosphere. Nitrogen with its triple bond has the highest strength followed by carbon dioxide and oxygen with double bonds, then single bonded water, methane and ammonia, and the weakest is ozone
A diagram showing UVC breaking down oxygen gas into individual oxygen atoms that then combine with oxygen gas to make ozone. Ozone is broken down again by UVA and UVB
