The ozone layer protects the earth from harmful Ultra Violet (UV) rays, which have been known to cause ski cancer. Because of the whole world polluting the air, the chemicals in this pollution are eating up the ozone layer. This lets in these UV rays.
The flip side though is that green house gas is defined as any three atom gas. Ozone is just such a gas. The current belief as to why the Antarctic is still not warming and is still gaining ice is being blamed on the thinning of the ozone layer that occurs there at the end of every winter.

∙ 15y agoThe ozone layer is contained within the stratosphere. The ozone layer is most concentrated at the bottom, and the stratosphere gets warmer with increasing altitude. So your answer is"no", I believe. What ozone does, is radiate in the far-infrared, which the non-greenhouse gases nitrogen and oxygen cannot do. So ozone can appear hot simply because it can couple heat from the more transparent gases.

∙ 14y agoThe ozone layer is hotter than the atmosphere immediately above and below it. Sunlight contains energetic radiation, and UV-B and more energetic radiation is absorbed by the gases of the atmosphere, and very little of that energy gets past the lower stratosphere (aka. the ozone layer).

∙ 10y agoThe ozone layer is almost as hot as the Thermosphere, as the ozone layer is the layer that absorbs all the heat. I would say maybe 1000 C, possibly less.

Why does the ozone layer dissolve above antarctica?
The ozone layer dissolves above Antarctica. It is because of cold temperature there.
How hot could the earth get if the ozone layer was gone?
Earth could get very hot. It is because ozone depletion can cause global warming.
Why is the ozone layer named the ozone layer?
Ozone layer contains ozone in it. Therefore, it is named so.
What planet includes a layer of ozone?
Earth has a layer of ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
A layer of the ozone in the protects from earths radation?
Ozone is a layer which protects us. Actually ozone is just a gas, ozone layer is the layer.
What keeps the Earth from becoming too hot during the day and too cold at night?
The ozone layer
Is the stratosphere hot or cold?
Absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone.
How cold does the ozone layer have to be to so icebergs dont melt?
The temp of the ozone layer has no affect on icebergs.
Why does the ozone layer dissolve above antarctica?
The ozone layer dissolves above Antarctica. It is because of cold temperature there.
What part of the ozone layer is damaged?
The ozone at poles is damaged. It is due to cold temperature there.
When was a hole made in the ozone layer?
The ozone hole is made at the poles. it is due to the cold temperatures there.
What is happening to the ozone layers in the poles?
The ozone layer at poles is depleting. It is because of cold degrees of temperature there.
Why is the ozone layer hotter than the other layers?
The ozone layer is very cold all year round. It is one of the cooler layers of our atmosphere.
Why don't you burn when the sun gets really hot?
you don't burn because of the ozone layer of the earth. the ozone layer is a layer on earth that observes solar ultraviolet radiation.
How hot could the earth get if the ozone layer was gone?
Earth could get very hot. It is because ozone depletion can cause global warming.
Why is the ozone layer named the ozone layer?
Ozone layer contains ozone in it. Therefore, it is named so.
Where the ozone layer depletion first happened?
The ozone depletion first happened over Antarctica. It is because of the cold temperatures.
