No, it doesn't. It just absorbs the UV rays.
Oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the Earth's atmosphere absorb energy from the sun in the thermosphere. This is the layer of the atmosphere that experiences the highest temperatures due to the absorption of solar radiation.
No, it is a "sub-layer" mostly located within the stratosphere (app. 10-50 km above the Earth's surface), but exists in small quantities within all layers of the atmosphere. The Stratophere is the second-lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and the ozone layer is located there.
Sources of energy, such as sunlight, reach the troposphere through radiation. Energy from the sun passes through the Earth's atmosphere and is absorbed by the surface, which then heats up and warms the air in the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere.
Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
Ozone can absorb UV. It is present as ozone layer.
The ozone layer absorbs UV radiation.

Greenhouse gases primarily absorb and reradiate infrared energy, not UV energy. This process traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to warming of the troposphere rather than the absorption of UV energy directly causing heating. UV radiation plays a role in the stratosphere, where it is absorbed by ozone and contributes to heating in that layer of the atmosphere.
They absorb the light needed for photosynthesis.
The stratosphere and the thermosphere are the two layers of the atmosphere that heat up because they absorb high-energy rays from the sun. The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs UV radiation, while the thermosphere absorbs extreme ultraviolet and X-ray radiation.
The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere where temperature increases with altitude. This is due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer, which heats up the surrounding air.
No it does not. Ozone layer only absorbs UV radiations.
