Why ozone layer go acurate up at night?
The ozone layer goes up at night. This means the concentration of ozone is high. This is due to less depletion.
What harm is caused by the loss of the ozone layer?
The loss of the ozone layer can lead to increased levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface, which can cause skin cancer, cataracts, and suppress the immune system in humans. It can also harm marine life, damage crops, and disrupt ecosystems.
What is ozone thinning?
This is a thinning (by about 2/3, of the ozone over the Antarctic during the spring time, towards the end of the long winter night in the south pole. There is no actual hole in the layer. This has occurred for centuries, in fact the thinnest we know the layer has ever been is in 1858, before man started using cfc's. A similar thinning occurs, to a much smaller extent in the Arctic during the end of it's winter night also. The thinning is much smaller in the Arctic and NASA even reffers to this thin area as the "Dimple" due to the small size.
Why is the ozone in the atmosphere important?
The ozone layer in the atmosphere plays a critical role in protecting life on Earth by absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. This helps prevent health issues such as skin cancer, cataracts, and immune system suppression in humans, as well as protecting ecosystems and wildlife.
What layer is located in the stratosphere?
The mesosphere extends from the stratopause to about 53 miles (85 km) above the earth. The gases, including the oxygen molecules, continue to become thinner and thinner with height. As such, the effect of the warming by ultraviolet radiation also becomes less and less leading to a decrease in temperature with height. On average, temperature decreases from about 5°F (-15°C) to as low as -184°F (-120°C) at the mesopause. However, the gases in the mesosphere are still thick enough to slow down meteorites hurtling into the atmosphere, where they burn up, leaving fiery trails in the night sky.

Is there ozone layer when it is dark?
Yes. The "half-life" of ozone is several days at the night-time temperature of the ozone layer. So only a few ozone decay paths are present when sunlight is not available. what about nite with no daylight. Yes. During all times of day and variants of sunlight, the Ozone Layer is still present.
How does earth hold heat in night when there is no sun radiation?
The ozone layer along with atmospheric layer stores the heat of the sun for nights.

Why you have the ozone layer?
because it protects us from the uv rays and it absorbs the solar energy to let the temperature at night good and not so cold
Does human body increase during night sleep?
no it doesnt increase but decrease. Yes . Because human body is liberated from the vertical gravity on it.

How does the Ozone Hole impact us?
Loss of ozone protection includes increased rates of cancer, mutation, cataracts, and decreased hardiness of us and our fellow cohabitants of Earth's surface. This means loss of crops (essentially) both now and into the future. In general, when there is UltraViolet-B from the Sun that could harm humans, there is UltraViolet-C from the Sun to make protective ozone. Under the ozone hole there is no protection.
What country has the thinnest ozone layer?
The hole in the ozone layer only occurs over the poles during the end of the winter at each pole. The only large thinning area occurs in the Antarctic. This is because of the long winter nights preventing the sun from making more ozone. Once the polar night ends, the hole repairs itself. The Arctic hole is referred to as the dimple by NASA because of the small thinning that occurs over that pole.
What does the ozone layer do for us on Earth?
Short Answer: The ozone layer protects the DNA of all surface dwelling life, by absorbing UltraViolet-B from our Sun.More detailThe ozone layer is the product of very short wave Ultraviolet light (UV-B) breaking apart oxygen molecules. When ozone is formed, it serves to block energetic UV (UV-B) that other molecules don't, and acts to moderate day / night temperature swings a little bit.Ozone absorbs UV-B, which would otherwise damage our DNA, and the DNA of all surface dwellers on Earth (including phytoplankton in the oceans). This absorption of UV-B or more energetic light breaks the ozone down into an oxygen molecule and a single oxygen atom. A few of these fragments reassemble as ozone. But primarily UV-B is required to break apart more oxygen to make replacement ozone.The ozone layer is like a blanket that shields Earth (not just the living things). It is a "greenhouse gas" that moderates day / night temperature swings, and allows the "heat" of the nitrogen and oxygen at altitude to be radiated away (both up and down).Diseases that increase as the ozone layer gets thinner...cataractsskin cancer (melanoma)cancer in generalmalnutrition / starvation (since our food crops are similarly attacked)
