How does radiation get to us from the sun?

The sun naturally gives off radiation through ultraviolet rays but the ozone layer around earth blocks most of the harmful radiation, a few years ago people using spray-cans with CFC's in them (chlorofluorocarbons) created a hole in the ozone layer over the arctic CFC's were banned but they did their damage.
