Description for Ultraviolet Radiation in the Solar System
Hardback. Provides a description of the Sun, our main source of UV radiation. This book discusses the potential role of ultraviolet light in the development of life on bodies such as Mars, Europa and Titan. The Solar System is not isolated; other external sources can contribute to the enhancement of the UV radiation in our environment. Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library.

In the history of science the opening up of a new observational or experimental window is always followed by an increase in knowledge of the subject concerned.

However, the energy per UV photon provides the main peculiarity, its magnitude being great enough to produce important ch- ical reactions in the atmospheres of planets and satellites, thereby a?ecting the transmission of this radiation to the ground.
