so we dont die

The Ozone layer is a layer in the Stratosphere, it is used to absorb the harmful Ultra Violet radiation that comes from the sun. Oddly, the UV radiation makes the Ozone; ozone is a special type of oxygen, containing three oxygen atoms rather than two oxygen atoms. It is usually created when some type of radiation or electrical discharge separates the two atoms in an oxygen molecule, which can then individually recombine with other oxygen molecules to form ozone.
