Ozone present in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere is called as good ozone. It protects us from the harmful UV light of the sun.Ozone present in the troposphere is also called as bad ozone. It is also a
green house gas. It is the major constituent of the urban smog.

∙ 13y agoThe ozone layer is a thick band of atmosphere with no fixed elevation, and a "tiny" bit of ozone in it. It has no meaningful "surface", "area", "volume", or "altitude".

What atmospheric layer contains the highest concentration of ozone?
The ozone layer is a protective layer in Earth's atmosphere that protects Earth's surface from the strongest UV rays that come off the sun. The vast majority of the ozone layer is found in the stratosphere.
How does the ozone layer reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earths surface?
Ozone layer contains ozone molecules in abundance. These molecules decompose themselves to absorb ozone.
The ozone layer is located in the?
The ozone layer is located in the stratosphere which is 30 miles above the Earth's surface.
What ozone layer consist of?
The ozone layer consists of the ozone molecules in a huge amount. These molecules protect us from the harmful UV radiations entering the earth's surface.
What damage did violet rays do to the ozone layer?
No damage. Violet light does not affect ozone, or any of the gases commonly found in the ozone layer.
What is the most layer that effect on earth surface?
The layer that affects the earth's surface is ozone. Ozone is a layer of importance.
Thin out layer of earth that coversits entire surface?
There is a thin layer of ozone that covers entire surface. It is called ozone layer and protect us too.
What happens in the holes of the ozone layer?
The hole in ozone layer is the thinning of ozone layer. It causes the harmful UV radiations of the sun to enter the earth's surface.
What would happen to the ozone layer if ozone was being made in the atmosphere?
Ozone is continually made by the Sun. Ozone made at Earth's surface does not survive to reach the ozone layer.
What contains the ozone layer which acts as a protective shields for earths surface?
Stratosphere contains the ozone layer. It is present as a pool of ozone molecules.
How high up in the atmosphere is the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is 12 - 15 km above the earths surface
What is the Surface area of the ozone layer?
It is a question without a meaningful answer. How about "a little larger than the surface of the Earth, most of the time"?Ozone is found out into the exosphere, and all the way down to the surface of the Earth.The ozone layer's altitude varies whether it is being measured over the poles or the equator. It is established by artificial limits, which gives it a top and bottom side. So this increases its surface area. And when it is late winter / early spring at a pole, a "hole" forms, which is below that threshold ozone value, so the area gets smaller.
What effect did the ozone layers had?
The ozone layer acts a protective shield on the surface of earth. This layer blocks out the harmful Uv radiations emitted from the surface of the sun.
What is the distance between the ozone layer and earth's surface?
The ozone layer is spread up to a great place. The estimate distance from the surface is 15 to 35 kilometers.
What are the negative implications of the thinning of the ozone layer?
The ozone layer shields the planet surface from harmful radiation from the sun. The less the ozone layer, the more the risk of skin cancer.
What is the area of the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is spread all over. It is over the whole earth.
What atmospheric layer contains the highest concentration of ozone?
The ozone layer is a protective layer in Earth's atmosphere that protects Earth's surface from the strongest UV rays that come off the sun. The vast majority of the ozone layer is found in the stratosphere.
