What effect does wind have on ultra violet rays/radiation?

Wind does not influenze ultraviolet radiation.


Wind is the movement of a column of air. But, ultraviolet radiations are energy carrying waves moving at a speed of


3*10^8 m/s.





There is a slight change in speed of ultraviolet rays when it passes through the atmosphere, but this is only because of the Refractive Index(negligible) of air and not because of the wind.

What effect does wind have on ultra violet rays/radiation?
It has no effect at all. UV is just another form of light (As is radio). Some gases like ozone can stop them, but wind has no effect on them whatsoever.
Reply:Wind does not affect UV rays. They are not responsive to air pressure or air pressure changes.
