Exoplanetary Science
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light, specifically ranging from about 10 nm to 400 nm. This form of radiation plays a significant role in the greenhouse effect, particularly in exoplanets, as it influences atmospheric chemistry and temperature regulation by driving photochemical reactions that can create or destroy greenhouse gases.
congrats on reading the definition of uv radiation. now let's actually learn it.
