Ozone /ˈoʊzoʊn/, or trioxygen, is an inorganicmolecule with the chemical formula O
3. It is a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungentsmell. It is an allotrope of oxygen that is much less stable than the diatomic allotrope O
2, breaking down in the lower atmosphere to O
2( dioxygen). Ozone is formed from dioxygen by the action of ultraviolet light (UV) and electrical discharges within the Earth's atmosphere. It is present in very low concentrations throughout the latter, with its highest concentration high in the ozone layerof the stratosphere

Ozone is created in the atmosphere when the sun's rays split oxygen molecules into single atoms. These atoms combine with nearby oxygen to form a three-oxygen molecule, called ozone. Even as it's being made, ozone is also destroyed by sunlight and reactions involving natural compounds that contain chlorine, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Most of the earth's ozone is contained in the stratosphere, a layer of the atmosphere 10–40 km above the surface of the earth. The amount of ozone in the stratosphere is fairly constant when viewed globally. However, it changes throughout the year and from one place to another. Most of the world's ozone is created over the Tropics, and is then pushed by stratospheric winds over the rest of the planet.
