How much of the ozone layer do you have right now?
The "ozone layer" is roughly the same condition it has always been in. The amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere varies mainly due to variations in solar activity. UV radiation has serious affects on this layer. Holes form over the poles at the end of each winter due to a lack of sunlight. When the sun returns, the "holes" quickly disappear.
Is the concentration of ozone in polluted areas typically much higher than it is in the ozone layer?
No, the concentration of ozone in the ozone layer is typically much higher than in polluted areas. The ozone layer is composed of a concentrated layer of ozone high up in the stratosphere, whereas ozone in polluted areas is formed closer to the ground as a result of chemical reactions between pollutants.
How the ozone layer reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earth's surface?
The ozone layer acts as a shield in the Earth's atmosphere, absorbing much of the incoming ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This is due to the presence of ozone molecules, which have a natural ability to absorb UV radiation. By absorbing and scattering UV rays, the ozone layer prevents much of the harmful UV radiation from reaching the Earth's surface, protecting living organisms.
Why ozone layer absorbs the ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
It is very much important for the ozone layer to absorb the ultra violet rays from reaching the Earth as it can cause a lot of damage and destruction to our planet. Moreover, it is very much harmful if it reaches the Earth's surface which can affect the whole living population and cause skin cancer to human beings.
Which layer of the atmosphere contains ozone that protects the earths surface from ultraviolet ray?
Ozone layer filers the UV rays.
How does direct sunlight affect the earth?
Too much heat depletes the ozone layer making earth more warmer.

How do you prevent the ozone layer?
You would never want to prevent the ozone layer. This is needed to keep life tolerable on the planet. Without this 3 mm thick layer of gas we would have too much UV-B hitting our planet. If you are asking how to prevent the "hole" in the ozone that occurs for short periods each year. This can't be stopped as it is from the angle of our planet versus the sun. When sunlight cannot reach the ozone layer, the ozone decays into oxygen.
Is the concentration of ozone in polluted areas typically much higher than it is in the ozone layer?
No, the concentration of ozone in the ozone layer is typically much higher than in polluted areas. The ozone layer is composed of a concentrated layer of ozone high up in the stratosphere, whereas ozone in polluted areas is formed closer to the ground as a result of chemical reactions between pollutants.
What layer of the atmosphere protects living things from too much radiation from the Sun?
The "ozone layer" in the stratosphere contains triple molecules of oxygen (O3, ozone) that absorb the energy of UV rays from the Sun, limiting the amount of UV that reaches the surface. The ozone layer occurs between 20 and 30 kilometers above the Earth (60,000 to 100,000 feet).
How the ozone layer reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation that reaches earth's surface?

By absorbing and scattering UV rays, the ozone layer prevents much of the harmful UV radiation from reaching the Earth's surface, protecting living organisms.
Can the oxygen we breathe absorb ultraviolet radiation?
No, oxygen in the atmosphere primarily absorbs radiation in the UV-C range, which is filtered out by the ozone layer. UV-A and UV-B rays are the ones that can penetrate the atmosphere and can cause damage to our skin and eyes.
Why ozone layer absorbs the ultraviolet radiation from the sun?
It is very much important for the ozone layer to absorb the ultra violet rays from reaching the Earth as it can cause a lot of damage and destruction to our planet. Moreover, it is very much harmful if it reaches the Earth's surface which can affect the whole living population and cause skin cancer to human beings.
How much ozone layer in the world?
Ozone layer is spread all over. It is due to the UV falling all over.
Which layer of the atmosphere contains ozone that protects the earths surface from ultraviolet ray?
Ozone layer filers the UV rays.
How long will the ozone layer last?
The magic 8 ball says: "My sources say No." No one knows where that particular "feature" is going. The record largest ozone hole was 2007, and the ozone hole for 2008 was not much smaller. The amount of UV-B that arrives at Earth's surface varies by year, and by 11 year solar cycle. Effects that are believed to be closely tied to the amount of UV-B that arrives on Earth's surface show a long-term upward trend. Plants absorb water vapor, and produce oxygen. What we do to plants, we do to the ozone layer (as much as we do anything to the ozone layer).
How much do cars harm the ozone layer?
They do harm the ozone. But the amount is very less.
