How the ozone is able to protect the earth from the harmful amounts of ultaviolet radiation?

Ozone in the Earth's stratosphere absorbs and scatters incoming ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This absorption prevents most harmful UV-B and all UV-C radiation from reaching the Earth's surface, protecting life from the damaging effects of excessive UV exposure. Ozone acts as a shield that helps maintain a balance of UV radiation for life to thrive on Earth.

Type of penetrating ionising radiation consisting of electromagnetic waves?

There are three types of radiation: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. Alpha radiation is the emission of Alpha particles, which consists of two protons bound to two neutrons. Beta radiation is the emissions of electrons, and gamma radiation is the emission of photons. Alpha particles are made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, and can be blocked by a single sheet of paper. Beta particles are electrons and can be stopped by a 3/4 inch block of wood. Gamma particles are photons, and they go straight through the 3/4 inch wood, but lead can stop them more. In total, gamma radiation has the greatest penetrating power.
