The Ozone layer of our Earth is the protective cover for the planet, which prevents the entry of harmful rays from the sun, thereby protecting the living beings from harmful diseases.

Sun contains a very dangerous rays called UV rays and the ozone layer which is present in the earth's atmosphere and it protects the earth from the UV rays and convert it into Infrared rays which is better than the UV rays and it is also very much necessary for every creature.

The ozone is the outer protective layer of earth. it does not allow the ultraviolet rays to reach the earth atmosphere. If the ultraviolet rays fall on earth then various skin cancer and other dieases will occur in both plants and animals.

UV rays are harmful for human skin and body, ozone layer protects UV radiation, but these days increase in pollution and in CFC level has depleted this ozone layer.

Ozone layer protects us from harmful ULTRAVIOLET radiations. But due to the increase of pollutions the Ozone layer is depleted, the concentration of Carbon-dioxide increases and this causes dizziness in body and sometimes leads to death of the person.

The depletion of ozone layer leads to skin cancer ect.

The ozone layer is a layer in Earth's atmosphere containing relatively high concentrations of ozone (O3). However, "relatively high, " in the case of ozone, is still very small with regard to ordinary oxygen, and is less than ten parts per million, with the average ozone concentration in Earth's atmosphere being only about 0. 6 parts per million. The ozone layer is mainly found in the lower portion of the stratosphere from approximately 20 to 30 kilometres (12 to 19 mi) above Earth, though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically.
