What does ozone provide for people on earth?
Ozone in the high atmosphere absorbs light in the UV wavelengths - thus protecting plants and animals (and people) down on the surface of the earth from the effects of excessive UV exposure.

Which rays of the sun can in high quantities damage the skin?
UV RAYS!!! The sun is the major natural source of UV Rays. UV Rays are invisable. They are still a form of light rays. UV stands for Ultra Violiet Rays. These (UV) rays cause sunburn and damage the eyes. Overexposure of UV Rays can cause serious skin cancer. UV Rays, however, can have useful effects, too. They can destroy harmful organisms.

How is the biosphere protectected from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light?
UV rays are absorbed by the ozone layer. It protects the earth from harmful UV radiations of the sun.

The UV light is different to that of fluorescent light. The UV originates from the sun. The latter one does not.No, it is not. UV is different.
How is the ozone layer affecting UV levels?
Ozone layer affects the UV levels by blocking it. In the absence of Ozone, more UV will enter.
What would be uv levels if ozone layer was recovered?
If ozone was recovered UV levels will go down. UV are the harmful radiation of the sun.
