Ozone is formed throughout the atmosphere in multistep chemical processes that require sunlight. In the stratosphere, the process begins with an oxygen molecule (O2 ) being broken apart by ultraviolet radiation from
the Sun. In the lower atmosphere (troposphere), ozone is formed in a different set of chemical reactions
involving hydrocarbons and nitrogen-containing gases.
