Yes, it does. It also protects us from CFC's.

What is atmosphere layer including the ozone layer?

The ozone layer is not a basic layer of the atmosphere.Starting at the Earth's surface:tropospherestratosphere (the bottom of which contains most of the "ozone layer")mesospherethermosphereexosphere (which extends into outer space)


The ozone layer helps to sustain terrestrial life by?

The ozone is important for life on this planet because it forms the protective bubble that keeps our atmosphere in and keeps it from escaping into space. It also acts as a sort of shield and blocks harmful rays from the sun.


Ultraviolet rays from the sun are reglected back into space by this special layer in the atmosphere?

Ozone layer reflects ultraviolet rays back into space. It acts as a protective shield, absorbing and filtering out harmful UV radiation to prevent it from reaching the Earth's surface in large quantities. This helps protect living organisms from the damaging effects of excessive UV exposure.


What would happen if the ozone layer does not exist?

Life would not exist.The ozone layer is keeping all the gasses from escaping into space. So, without the ozone layer, there would be no oxygen for animals or carbon dioxide for plants.The ozone layer also reflects space radiation and harmful UV rays back into space, preventing them getting into the Earth's atmosphere. If this didn't happen, life would be poisoned and killed by constant radiation and UV blasting.


How do satellites harm the ozone layer?

Satellites themselves do not harm the ozone layer. However, the rockets used to send satellites into space can release exhaust gases that contain ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorine and bromine. Additionally, the use of certain propellants in satellites can also contribute to ozone depletion if released into the atmosphere.

How is the ozone layer being monitored?

Ozone layer is being monitored by scientists. Satellites are roaming in space for it.


Can you pass the ozone layer?

Of course you can pass through the ozone layer, how could we get into space. It's just a layer of invisible something-or-not-whatsit-called stuff.


Are holes in ozone layer due to space shuttles?

Ozone depletion is caused due to space shuttles. But not enough to cause a hole.


Can space ships damage ozone layerexiting and entering atmosphere piercing the thin ozone layer?

No they can't. They will just displace the ozone.


Which layer has very small and light weight atoms escaping into space?

exosphere

Is nasa sending satellites to space to cool the ozone layer down?

No. The ozone layer would be more easily destroyed than cooled by anything lofted there.


Why are there no hole in the ozone layer when spacecrafts leave the ozone layer?

The ozone layer is just a layer of gas, so while the ozone might get "stirred up" a bit, it does not form a hole. An ozone hole is not a physical hole; it's only an area in the ozone layer where the ozone levels are very low because of decomposition by chemicals. Consider this: If you move your hand through the air, does it leave a vacuum behind? No. The air around it fills in the space almost instantly. Same thing with the spacecraft going through the ozone layer.
