photochemistry
Chemical reactions in the atmosphere which involve either absorption or emission of the Sun's radiation. One typical example is the formation of ozone in the stratosphere, which requires the absorption of the Sun's ultraviolet light.

Photochemistry
Photochemistry, a sub-discipline of chemistry, is the study of the interactions between atoms, small molecules, and light (or electromagnetic radiation).
Like most scientific disciplines, photochemistry utilizes the SI or metric measurement system. Important units and constants that show up regularly include the meter (and variants such as centimeter, millimeter, micrometer, nanometer, etc.), seconds, hertz, joules, moles, the gas constant R, and the Boltzmann constant. These units and constants are also integral to the field of physical chemistry.
