What is Ozone layer? Which layer contains most of the Ozone gas of the atmosphere?
Answers
Ozone is a gas that is naturally present in our atmosphere. Each ozone molecule contains three atoms of oxygen and is
denoted chemically as O3. Ozone is found primarily in two regions of the atmosphere. About 10% of atmospheric ozone is in
the troposphere, the region closest to Earth (from the surface to about 10–16 kilometers (6–10 miles)). The remaining ozone
(about 90%) resides in the stratosphere between the top of the troposphere and about 50 kilometers (31 miles) altitude. The
large amount of ozone in the stratosphere is often referred to as the “ozone layer.”
Answer:
Ozone layer is a layer of region of layer on earth's atmosphere which absorbs most of the ultra violet rays poduced by the sun.
Most atmospheric ozone gas is concentrated in the stratosphere, about 9 to 18 miles
