What does light do to oxygen in the stratosphere?

How does ultraviolet light affect the environment?

Are UV light and UV rays the same thing?
Yes, UV light and UV rays are the same thing, light emit "rays."
What effect does the depletion of ozone have on animals and plants?
Ozone, O3, is a gas in the upper atmosphere that absorbs UV light. This means less UV light gets to the Earth. UV light causes humans to synthesise Vitamin D, needed for healthy bones and teeth. However, it also causes skin damage- the reason why we tan/burn in sunlight. Less O3 means more intense UV light- known to increase skin cancer and cataract rates in areas where this has happened. With plants, I don't think it has a great effect- they just use pockets of sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
How do you get a UV light?

How uv rays affect vegetables?

How do UV-B rays affect people?
UV light (particularly UV-B and UV-C, which are regions of the spectrum with shorter wavelengths than the UV-A part) can cause skin cancer. It does this because the DNA molecules in your body absorb UV light, and the light has enough energy to break bonds in the DNA, causing harmful rearrangements in your genetic code. When cells with damaged DNA reproduce, that can result in cancerous cells. See more details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet
