Ozone is not a greenhouse gas as it is only found in the stratosphere?

Ozone *is* a greenhouse gas.
Some ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, but it does reach its peak cocentration in the lower stratosphere.
Note that the glass of a greenhouse is not down next to the plants...

Why ozone is found only in stratosphere?
Ozone is only found in stratosphere. it is because the various factors leading to ozone formation are there in stratosphere.
Why ozone is mostly found in stratosphere?
Ozone is mainly found in stratosphere. It is because of the factors that create ozone are in stratosphere only.
Is the ozone is only found in the stratosphere?
No, ozone is not only found in the stratosphere. It is because it is also found at ground level.
Is most of the ozone in the earths atmosphere located in the ionosphere?
No. The jet stream is mostly in the troposphere. The ozone layers is above it in the stratosphere.
How could ozone be characterized in the stratosphere?
Ozone layer is present at certain height in the stratosphere. It is the only characteristic of the layer of ozone.
Where ozone collects?
The ozone collects at the stratosphere. It is formed there only.
Which layer has no ozone?
Ozone is present in the stratosphere and troposphere of the earth's atmosphere only.
Is the ozone in the strtosphere is a form of air polluton?
No, it is not. The ozone in stratosphere is good ozone.
What layer of the atmosphere is ozone found in?
It is in the stratosphere, located 8 to 50km above sea level. The ozone layer surrounds the earth, meaning that it's wrapped around earth. The altitude varies with latitude as well, placing the stratosphere and the ozone layer closer to the Earth's surface over the poles.The highest concentration of ozone is in the lower stratosphere, also called the tropopause, and the ozone here is called the ozone layer. Ozone is also found in the lower atmosphere, also called the troposphere, and the ozone here is one component of smog.Ozone concentrations vary from near zero at extreme elevations (high in the exosphere), to a maximum (~9 ppm) at the bottom of the stratosphere, to zero again near Earth's surface (the troposphere ends here). So some ozone is found in every layer of the atmosphere (usually less than 1 ppm, except for the stratosphere).When it is winter at one of the poles, there is no UV-C to make ozone, and since ozone decays with time, an "ozone hole" forms. The size of the hole depends on how many contaminants are present to accelerate the decay of ozone.Ozone is concentrated at 20-40 km above earth with highest concentration 6-8 parts per million. It is present in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere.
Are the ozone molecules in the protective ozone layer of the stratosphere are quite different than the harmful ozone molecules found in ground level smog and air pollution?
No, they're exactly the same. The only reason they're "good" in the stratosphere is that no one's trying to breathe them up there.
Why ozone layer formed only in stratosphere but not in other layer of atmosphere?
Yes, it is. The stratosphere contains all the factors that are needed to create ozone.
Does the messosphere contain the ozone layer?
No the mesosphere does not contain the ozone layer. The ozone layer is only present in the stratosphere.
