I'm trying to find out more about the ozone layer. Can you tell me more about it?

The Ozone Layer is a thin layer of gas in the upper atmosphere that absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun and prevents it from reaching the Earth’s surface. This helps protect us from skin cancer, cataracts, and other diseases caused by overexposure to UV light. It also helps shield our planet from the harmful effects of solar radiation.
