Ozone is a molecule, with certain chemical properties, a propensity for absorbing UV-B or more energetic radiation, and is unstable... tending to decay back to oxygen.
The ozone layer is a region of atmosphere, with the usual 70+% of nitrogen and 20+%oxygen, and the usual trace gases. Only the amount of ozone present increases to ~9 ppm (peak) in the lower stratosphere.

∙ 10y agoOzone present in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere is called as good ozone. It protects us from the harmful UV light of the sun.Ozone present in the troposphere is also called as bad ozone. It is also a
green house gas. It is the major constituent of the urban smog.

What is the difference between the ozone layer and lonosphere?
Ozone layer contains ozone. Ionosphere contains ions.
What two layers does ozone layer lay between?
The ozone layer lies in the stratosphere. It does not lie between 2 layers. Some ozone is there in troposphere.
What are the links between the ozone layer and greenhouse gases?
Very little connection between the ozone layer and greenhouse gases.
Is the ozone layer located between troposhpere and the mesosphere?
No, it is not. The ozone layer is located in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere.
Does the ozone layer exist in the thermosphere?
No. The ozone layers is in the stratopshere.
What is the difference between the ozone layer and lonosphere?
Ozone layer contains ozone. Ionosphere contains ions.

No, it is not. The ozone layer is located in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere.
Of what main layer is the ozone layer a sub layer?
The ozone layer is in the lower stratosphere, and occurs between 12 and 19 miles above the Earth.
Does the ozone layer exist in the thermosphere?
No. The ozone layers is in the stratopshere.
What happened to the ozone layer over the Antarctic between 1979 and 1996?
The ozone layer depleted intensely between 1979 and 1996. It was due to CFC's.
What is thre relationship between the depletion ozone layer and grenhouse?
The relationship between ozone layer and greenhouse is direct. Both cause each other.
What is the relationship between the ozone layer and the global climatic change?
Ozone layer and global climatic change have a strong relationship. Climate change is due to ozone.
What is the difference between global depletion of ozone and the hole in the ozone layer?
There is no difference between the two. The global depletion of ozone is the hole over ozone only.
Why is the ozone layer named the ozone layer?
Ozone layer contains ozone in it. Therefore, it is named so.
Where can be find ozone layers?
We can find the ozone layer in the stratospheric layer of the atmosphere. The abundance of ozone is mainly in between 10km to 50 km above the sea level.
