Observing the absorption of ultraviolet radiation from the sun by oxygen from the atmosphere as the cause of global warming

Abstract

The object of the research is global warming also called climate change, which is presented by the increase in the temperature of the planet. The main theory explains that heat on the planet is caused, after the solar constant by a so-called greenhouse effect, which is caused by gases from the atmosphere that absorb infrared energy emitted from the surface of the earth, so the problem of global warming, is described as an increase in the greenhouse effect, due to the increase of these gases. One of the most problematic places is that, based on the observation of the absorption spectrum of gases from the atmosphere, we know that the gases that absorb infrared radiation are only 0.04 %, the other 99.9 % does not absorb infrared radiation. In addition, 100 % of the gases in the atmosphere emit infrared radiation due to their kinetic movements, which allows to measure their temperature. In the course of research, the absorption spectrum of gases from the atmosphere is used to indicate that oxygen, which constitutes 21 % of the air, absorbs ultraviolet radiation, making it the main source of absorption of solar radiation from the atmosphere. In the future, the proposed approach should consider the absorption of ultraviolet by oxygen from the atmosphere, and physicochemical processes (ionization), to explain heat and the increase of this on the planet, in addition to electricity in the air, part of daylight, and forest fires.
