The Role of the Ozone Layer in the Earth's Atmosphere

The ozone layer plays a crucial role in protecting life on Earth by absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This layer, primarily located in the stratosphere, shields us from the harmful effects of UV radiation, which includes skin cancer, cataracts, and harm to marine ecosystems. It is especially important to protect the ozone layer, as it also contributes to the regulation of the Earth's temperature. As such, continued efforts to mitigate ozone-depleting substances are vital to maintaining this protective layer for future generations.

Remember, preserving the ozone layer is everyone's responsibility!
