How does ozone form in the troposphere?

Ozone gas (O3) is formed when oxygen gas (O2) is exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UV-C) in the stratosphere. Molecules of oxygen gas are made of two oxygen atoms. The energy of the radiation breaks the gas moecules into oxygen atoms, some of which then interact with oxygen gas to form ozone.


Sun contains hydrogen gas and?

The Sun primarily consists of hydrogen and helium gases, with hydrogen making up about 74% of its mass and helium about 24%. These two elements undergo nuclear fusion in the Sun's core, producing energy and light. Other elements like oxygen, carbon, and iron are present in smaller amounts.


What is the physical state of oxygen?

ozone in our atmosphere is a gas. it is a form of oxygen with three oxygen atom instead of two, O3. In our stratosphere, the ozone layer, ozone is very helpful to life on earth because it helps filter out harmful UV rays from the sun. However at ground level it is considered a pollutant. Ozone is also a greenhouse gas. Ozone can be cooled to form a liquid or a solid.
