German: Ultraviolett
Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths shorter than visible light.
The sun produces UV, which is commonly split into three bands: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA is not absorbed by ozone. UVB is mostly absorbed by ozone, although some reaches the Earth. UVC is completely absorbed by ozone and normal oxygen.
