How ozone protects us Ozone is a gas in the atmosphere that protects everything living on the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun. Without the layer of ozone in the atmosphere, it would be very difficult for anything to survive on the surface.
The stratospheric ozone layer, centered at about 20 km above the surface of the Earth (Figure 10-1), protects life on Earth by absorbing UV radiation from the Sun. In this chapter we examine the mechanisms controlling the abundance of ozone in the stratosphere and the effect of human influence.he stratospheric ozone layer, centered at about 20 km above the surface of the Earth (Figure 10-1), protects life on Earth by absorbing UV radiation from the Sun.
