Answer 2

False. Earth's atmosphere does not allow all the X-rays coming from space to enter the atmosphere.

• X-rays are electromagnetic radiations similar to visible light.
• But unlike visible light, x-rays have high energy and high penetrating power.
• Too much exposure to these rays can result in genetic damage in living organisms.
• The upper atmosphere blocks and absorbs these x-rays.
• The x-ray photons collide with the atmospheric atoms and use their energy to separate the electrons from their atoms.
• This process is called photo-electric absorption and it uses up all the energy of x-rays.
