Answer 2

ANSWER:

Ozone layer of atmosphere protects us from hazardous UV radiations.

EXPLANATION:

It is present in the lower part of stratosphere at an altitude of approximately 15-35 kilometers and highly rich in ozone. Ozone layer acts as a 'protective shield' for the earth. It absorbs the harmful UV rays and does not allow the penetration of solar radiations to reach the earth.

Otherwise, these solar radiations may affect organisms adversely and can cause 'skin cancer' too.
