Nonetheless, this extremely small fraction of the atmosphere plays a vital role in protecting life on Earth. Stratospheric ozoneis formed naturally by chemical reactions involving solar ultraviolet radiation (sunlight) and oxygen molecules, which make up 21% of the atmosphere.
Ozone is a gas in the atmosphere that protects everything living on the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun. Without the layer of ozone in the atmosphere, it would be very difficult for anything to survive on the surface.
High in the atmosphere, some oxygen (O2) molecules absorbed energy from the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays and split to form single oxygen atoms. These atoms combined with remaining oxygen (O2) to form ozone (O3) molecules, which are very effective at absorbing UV rays.

Answer:
Answer:
Ozone layer is the outermist layer of the atmosphere with 3 molecules of oxygen ... It protects us from harmful UV rays ....
When the uv rays fall on the ozone layer . It breaks into two parts .
o3 ---> o2 + o
this o forms bond with o2 to form o3
o + o2 --> o2
hope it helps
