The ozone layer is like a big, invisible blanket high up in the sky! 🌈 It helps protect us from the sun's strong rays, just like how sunscreen protects your skin. Without it, the sun could hurt plants, animals, and even us! 🌞
Imagine the ozone layer as Earth's superhero shield! 🦸 It keeps us safe and healthy.
The ozone layer is a special part of Earth's atmosphere, about 15–30 km above us. 🌍 It's made of a gas called ozone (O₃), which absorbs most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. ☀️
Without it, UV rays could cause sunburns, eye damage, and even skin cancer. Scientists discovered a "hole" in the ozone layer, but thanks to global efforts, it's slowly healing! 🌱
The ozone layer is a region in Earth's stratosphere containing high concentrations of ozone (O₃) molecules. 🌐 It absorbs 97–99% of the sun's medium-frequency ultraviolet (UV-B and UV-C) radiation, shielding life on Earth. 🔬
In the 1980s, scientists discovered the ozone hole over Antarctica, caused by human-made chemicals like CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). 🌪️ The Montreal Protocol (1987) phased out these chemicals, and the ozone layer is now recovering—a rare environmental success story! 📈
