It's just gas, much like the rest of the atmosphere, so a rocket just pushes right through it. You know how clouds block sunlight, and if they are thick enough, you can't see the Sun anymore and it is pretty dark? Airplanes can fly through those clouds. The ozone layer is like those clouds, only it doesn't block visible light... and it is very thin. Ozone just blocks UV-B and more energetic light, protecting Earth's surface.
What else can I help you with?
Does the ozone layer still have a hole?
as we know there are 2 holes in the ozone layer, over Asia and another 1 over the north pole - it is all apart of god's plan. so don't go freaking out if there is a hole. god knows what he is doing. everything is for a reason...
What vehicles can go to the ozone layer?
No vehicles are capable of physically reaching the ozone layer, as it is located about 6 to 30 miles above Earth's surface. However, certain aircraft like high-altitude planes and rockets can temporarily penetrate the ozone layer during flight.
Why do people other than those living near the poles need to be concerned about the ozone layer?
The lowest year-round "total column ozone" levels are at the equator. Depletion affects the entire atmosphere. Ozone holes at the pole do not put people at risk of cancer, cataracts, and ultimately starvation, since the hole heals shut when there is no sunlight with UV-B to be protected from. The ozone hole is just a symptom of other problems with the ozone layer.
Why are people damaging the ozone layer?
People have damaged the ozone layer by releasing harmful chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances into the atmosphere. These substances break down ozone molecules, leading to the thinning of the ozone layer. Regulations and international agreements have been put in place to reduce the production and use of these harmful chemicals to protect the ozone layer.
What is causing the ozone layer to dissapear?
It's Not Disappearing.In 1992 President Bush called for the production of chlorofluorocarbons CFC's (such as well known refrigerants called Freons and the fire extinguisher gasses known as halons) to be halted (the Montreal-London Protocol) in 1995. Scientists believed that CFC's were causing the hole.1. The hole was first discovered in 1956, before CFC's came into existence.The scientist who first discovered the "hole" was Dr. Gordon Dobson, he concluded that it was a natural phenomenon that appeared annually near the end of winter, and the hole vanished suddenly with the onset of spring2. The "hole" is not a hole.The ozone "hole" is actually a thinning of the ozone in the ayer. The lowest ozone concentration ever recorded in the "hole" was 30% of the normal level.3. Worldwide ozone layers are actually increasing.Average ozone levels are higher right now than they were in 1962, even though CFC use reached a maximum in 1974.4. The worst-case ozone depletion scenarios of the environmentalists due to changes in the weather, solar activity, and latitude.The (global disaster" that the environmentalist predicted was a decrease in average ozone levels by less then 10% in the next 100 years

Can you put up a fake ozone layer if the real one is depleted?
No, we cant put up a fake ozone. It is because it will be impossible to artificially create so much ozone as present in the ozone layer.
How would you put ozone in a sentence?
the ozone layer is being destroyed due to human pollution.

How does polluting put holes in the ozone layer?
Pollution causes global warming. It then causes ozone depletion.
How do people affect the Arctic tundra?
Ozone Depletion... when greenhouse gases put holes in the ozone layer.

Why can't you just fill in the ozone hole with man made ozone?
The ozone hole isn't the problem. The means for us to develop the energy used to make ozone to fill the hole is the problem. We put too much waste heat, too much water vapor into the atmosphere, and this depletes ozone.

What three molecules put together the ozone layer?
That would be nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and ozone (O3).
What caused the global warming to put a hole in the ozone layer?
No, Global Warming has almost nothing to do with the ozone hole. Ozone is a protective layer in the upper atmosphere. It is formed, when oxygen molecules absorb short wavelength ultra violet radiations from the sun. Ozone is mostly destroyed by free radicals in the atmosphere. When compounds like CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) and other halocarbons are released, they are dissociated by sunlight into chloride radicals. These radicals attack ozone, thereby decreasing its concentration. This results in a thinning of the ozone layer, and in polar regions, a hole. The holes occur at the poles, and usually in Antarctica because of the extreme cold. During the winter polar stratospheric clouds form which are able to convert gases in the atmosphere into Cl (chlorine) and ClO (chlorine monoxide). When the sun arrives at the end of winter, that is the trigger to begin. This is why the hole is largest in spring.
