Two forms of oxygen are found in the stratosphere. Molecular oxygen (O2), which is made up of two atoms of oxygen (O), and ozone (O3) which, as you can see from its chemical formula, is made up of three oxygen atoms. Ozone is formed when intensive ultra-violet radiation from the Sun breaks down O2 into two oxygen atoms. These highly reactive oxygen atoms can then react with more O2 to form O3.
