Detailed explanation-1: -Ozone in the stratosphere protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation and is therefore often called ‘good’ ozone. This is in contrast to ozone in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where it is an air pollutant and can be harmful to humans, animals and vegetation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs a portion of the radiation from the sun, preventing it from reaching the planet’s surface. Most importantly, it absorbs the portion of UV light called UVB.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ozone layer is a region of high ozone concentration in the stratosphere, 15 to 35 kilometres above Earth’s surface. The ozone layer acts as an invisible shield and protects us from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ozone layer prevents the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun to reach the earth.
