How does the ozone layer affect the temperature of the stratosphere?

Oxygen and nitrogen absorb most of the UV-C and more energetic light from the Sun. Ozone uniquely absorbs UV-B (which protects the DNA of all surface life on Earth), one narrow band of blue and that only slightly, and very strongly in the far infrared (as do most greenhouse gases). Oxygen and nitrogen as typical diatomic gases cannot normally radiate energy away as heat. So when ozone is present, the ozone gets "knocked around", and it can serve to radiate this heat way. Ozone then serves to make the atmosphere *appear* warmer, from coupling heat from the oxygen and nitrogen in the stratosphere, scattering some of the UV-B's energy as heat, and capturing heat from the Earth's surface and the Sun. Depletion makes the stratosphere appear to cool.

∙ 15y agoSince ozone is inherently unstable, increasing temperature pushes the equilibrium of production away from making ozone, and also increases the rate of destruction of ozone (whether by time or "contaminants"). Temperature is not a good indicator of ozone health, however, as ozone "speaks" in infrared whereas oxygen and nitrogen at that same altitude does not.

Which temperature zone of the atmosphere contains this ozone layer?
The ozone is there in the stratosphere. It is a part of the layer. This is the most vital layer which is responsible for life on earth.
What layer does the temperature increase because of ozone absorption of UV?
The layer that increases temperature is stratosphere. The ozone lies within.
Does the temperature in the stratosphere decrease or increase?
In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with height. This is due to the presence of the ozone layer near the top of the stratosphere. The ozone layer absorbs incoming UV radiation, and thus the temperatures are warmer at the top of the stratosphere than at the bottom.
Which atmospheric temperature zone is between 8 and 32 miles above the earths surface and contains an abundance of ozone?
Stratosphere is the layer of atmosphere which contains the ozone. The ozone is located as the ozone layer.
What atmospheric layer has the greatest concentration of ozone?
The ozone layer reaches its maximum concentration in Stratosphere. It does so because of the suitable conditions.
Is the ozone layer's temperature the same as the stratosphere?
The temperature of ozone layer is same as stratosphere. It is because ozone layer is in stratosphere.
Which temperature zone of the atmosphere contains this ozone layer?
The ozone is there in the stratosphere. It is a part of the layer. This is the most vital layer which is responsible for life on earth.
What causes the temperature variation in the stratosphere?
The ozone layer
What layer does the temperature increase because of ozone absorption of UV?
The layer that increases temperature is stratosphere. The ozone lies within.
Is the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere (where we live). The ozone layer is found in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere is the lowest layer where temperature increases with increasing altitude.
Where the ozone layer takes place?
The ozone layer is present in the stratosphere. It is because of the perfect UV radiation and temperature to form ozone.
Does the stratosphere temperature increase or decrease?
In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with height. This is due to the presence of the ozone layer near the top of the stratosphere. The ozone layer absorbs incoming UV radiation, and thus the temperatures are warmer at the top of the stratosphere than at the bottom.

Is the stratosphere hot or cold?
Absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone.
