The main function of the ozone layer is to absorb the Sun's ultraviolet radiation, hence protecting the Earth from its harmful effects.
Ozone is produced naturally in the stratosphere when highly energetic solar radiation strikes molecules of oxygen, O2, and cause the two oxygen atoms to split apart in a process called photolysis.
If a freed atom collides with another O2, it joins up, forming ozone O3.
