Because the UV (ultraviolet) touches a big part of our life which may lead to defect in some organs of the human body, the researcher offered some questions, As
-When do the UV indicators reach their peak ? Answer is needed to avoid it as much as possible.
Also, Proving or denying the hypothesis is needed, especially, knowing that the harmful radiation concentrates on the region of the tropical latitude circle and then the regions near to it. Depending on that, the research aims to determine the latitude circles that the UV radiation is focused on at the rush hours in '' Industrial YANBU " and " MAKKAH AL MOKARAMA" at the beginning of the spring .
The researcher collects all these data :
(Location of the sun – Indicators of the harmful radiation – The difference in the ozone layer – The temperature) .
The Results that the researcher found :
- The Location of the sun in the sky is one of the factors that affect on the indicators of the UV even if the change is simple .
- There is a relation between the location of the sun in the sky and the UV. That relation was determined at beginning of the spring in 'YANBU' industrial city, and the hypothesis of the research was proved. Harmful radiation concentrates on the region of the tropical latitude circle and other regions that comes after it
