Wavelengths of UV-A, visible, and near infrared get past the ozone layer (and the layers above it). Wavelengths starting with microwaves and longer get selectively through to Earth's surface, as there is some absorption by water vapor and other constituents of lower atmospheric layers.

What diseases can the ozone layer give us?

Lack of: - cataracts - skin cancer - mutations - starvation More of: - crop yields - arable land The ozone layer does not cause disease. Losing the ozone layer, bit by bit, does.


Why does the lack of ozone layer on Mars makes it impossible to sustain life on the planet?

The harfull sun rays will pass through and give you cancer


Satellite pictures show holes in ozone layer?

The ozone layer is a region in the stratosphere where ozone concentration is highest, playing a key role in protecting Earth from harmful UV radiation. Holes in the ozone layer, such as the well-known Antarctic ozone hole, refer to areas of significant ozone depletion due to human-produced chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Monitoring these holes helps assess the effectiveness of international agreements like the Montreal Protocol in reducing ozone-depleting substances.


Give the effect of damage of ozone layer?

Well right now the Ozone layer is getting holes in it. And the Ozone layer is the only thing protecting us on earth. Its protecting us from the sun's rays. Without the Ozone layer when it is gone we will all die from the sun's rays.


What is the ozone layer for?

The ozone layer acts like a protective shield for the Earth. Ozone is a molecule consisting of three atoms of oxygen. When UV rays fall on an ozone molecule, their energy is utilized in breaking up the bonds to give an oxygen molecule. As such, most of UV-A and UV-B energies are absorbed, leaving only the less harmful rays to pass through to the Earth. In the absence of the ozone layer, UV rays would be able to directly penetrate into the atmosphere. UV being high energy rays can penetrate skin too and cause mutations in the DNA, leading to skin cancer.

Which layer of the atmosphere contains the bad ozone?

The "bad ozone" is in the troposphere. It is no different from the ozone in the ozone layer. The problem is ozone is an irritant and can give rise to a number of toxic substances. This doesn't make a difference for us in when it is in the ozone layer, many miles above us, but when it is in the troposhere where we live we can feel its effects directly.

The ozone layer is found in the upper atmosphere. It is because of the suitable conditions there.

What if there was an ozone layer on every planet?

It would be very good if the ozone was on every planet. IT would give us a chance for us to see other species evolve.
