It is ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
The gas which absorb ultraviolet radiation is ozone. It absorbs the harmful Uv radiations from the sun.
If a gas has three or more atoms, then it can vibrate and absorb the heat/light from the infrared radiation coming from the warm earth and clouds.
The ozone gas absorbs UV rays. It is present as ozone layer.These atmospheric gases, also referred to as greenhouse gases, absorb solar radiation and cause a rise in temperature.
Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation, which means they trap heat. Nitrogen and oxygen tend to be thermodynamically inert, meaning they let the heat escape. Water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide absorb long wave solar radiation, which helps keep the earth warm.
Some of the gases found in our atmosphere which absorb infrared light are: carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Gases found in our atmosphere which absorb ultraviolet light are ozone (O3) and oxygen gas (O2).

Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Oxegen
Ozone absorbs UV, but is toxic to breath!

Ozone traps Ultra-violet radiation where as CO2 traps Infra-red radiation.
Earth's atmosphere does have greenhouse gases. These gases absorb some of the infrared radiation emitted by Earth's surface. If it did not, Earth would grow warmer and warmer as it absorbed more and more solar radiation. Greenhouse gas molecules absorb and emit infrared radiation.
Long wave radiation emitted by the sun reflects off earth's surface and is absorbed by heat trapping gas in the atmosphere. Nitrogen and oxygen do NOT absorb infrared radiation, but CO2, CH4, and H2O DO trap heat.
Some of the gases found in our atmosphere which absorb infrared light are: carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Gases found in our atmosphere which absorb ultraviolet light are ozone (O3) and oxygen gas (O2).
Short wavelength radiation such as Ultraviolet fall to absorption spectrum band of Ozone. Ozone absorb UV and re-emitted the radiation in the range of infrared or thermal range radiation.
