  2. Ultraviolet index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_index

    When the UV index is presented on a daily basis, it represents UV intensity around the sun's highest point in the day, called solar noon, halfway between sunrise and sunset. This typically occurs between 11:30 and 12:30, or between 12:30 and 13:30 in areas where daylight saving time is being observed.

  3. Sun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun

    The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.It is a massive, nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy from its surface mainly as visible light and infrared radiation with 10% at ultraviolet energies.

  4. Ultraviolet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet

    The amount of UV radiation produced by the Sun means that the Earth would not be able to sustain life on dry land if most of that light were not filtered out by the atmosphere. [1] More energetic, shorter-wavelength "extreme" UV below 121 nm ionizes air so strongly that it is absorbed before it reaches the ground. [2]

  5. Solar activity and climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_activity_and_climate

    The finding that solar activity was approximately the same in cycles 14 and 24 applies to all solar outputs that have, in the past, been proposed as a potential cause of terrestrial climate change and includes total solar irradiance, cosmic ray fluxes, spectral UV irradiance, solar wind speed and/or density, heliospheric magnetic field and its ...

    Burt proposes that the highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth could still be at Death Valley, but is instead 54.0 °C (129.2 °F) recorded on 30 June 2013. [14] This is lower than a 1931 measurement of 55 °C (131 °F) recorded in Kebili, Tunisia, but the WMS rejects this measurement as due to an inexperienced operator misreading the ...

    The latest TikTok tanning trend involves monitoring the UV index and timing sunbathing sessions to when it's high, but experts say that exposing yourself to strong ultraviolet rays is a bad idea.

  8. Coronal hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_hole

    A coronal hole at the Sun's north pole observed in soft X-ray. Coronal hole size and population correspond with the solar cycle. As the Sun heads toward solar maximum, the coronal holes move closer and closer to the Sun's poles. [4] During solar maxima, the number of coronal holes decreases until the magnetic fields on the Sun reverse.
