Question

A scientist wants to conduct an experiment where she can examine the greatest amount of ultraviolet energy from the sun throughout the year. Where should she go?

1) near the equator
2) in an area between the equator and poles
3) to the South Pole
4) to the North Pole

Answer 1

The correct answer is A

Answer 2

Answer: Its the first one

Explanation:Closer to the equator the sun's rays have a shorter distance to travel through the atmosphere and therefore less of the harmful UV radiation can be absorbed. With increasing altitude less atmosphere is available to absorb UV radiation.
