How does the atmosphere protects us from the Suns Rays?

The atmosphere protects us from the Sun's harmful rays primarily through its layers, particularly the ozone layer, which absorbs the majority of the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This absorption prevents excessive UV radiation from reaching the Earth's surface, which can cause skin cancer and other health issues. Additionally, the atmosphere scatters and reflects some sunlight, reducing the intensity of incoming solar radiation. Overall, these protective mechanisms help maintain a safe and habitable environment on Earth.
