Ozone molecules that absorb UV-B or more energetic light break apart, usually into an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom. Sometimes the oxygen atom can recombine to form ozone again... if no competing reactions get to it first. Not sure what you had in mind about "something" absorbing ozone molecules... any chemical that ozone interacts with, gains the extra oxygen atom, leaving the oxygen molecule to go do something else. Even oxidizing elemental sulfur (or H2S), each oxygen atom consumed into the final molecule, breaks down one ozone molecule.
What else can I help you with?
Which part of the solar radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer?
The ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer. The ozone molecules do not allow only the ultraviolet radiations to pass through.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed in the atmosphere?
Most visible light is bounced back into space, while some of it is absorbed into the atmosphere.
What is the effect of absorbing photons of energy on ozone?
Absorbing photons of energy can break apart ozone molecules in the stratosphere, resulting in an increase in oxygen molecules and a decrease in ozone concentration. This process can contribute to ozone depletion, allowing more harmful ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth's surface.
What is Earths incoming ultraviolet radiation absorbed by?
Nitrogen, Oxygen (UV-C and more energetic), and Ozone (UV-B and more energetic)
What us uv rays absorbed by?
The UV rays are absorbed by ozone. It is present in the ozone layer.
Which part of the solar radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer?
The ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the ozone layer. The ozone molecules do not allow only the ultraviolet radiations to pass through.
What does the ozone layer protect us from ultraviolet radiation?
The ozone layer is an elastic layer of ozone molecules. The UV radiations are the one coming from sun and absorbed by the ozone.
Is all radiation absorbed in the earths atmosphere is absorbed in what atmosphere?
Most of the radiation absorbed in Earth's atmosphere is absorbed in the ozone layer, which is a region of the stratosphere that contains a high concentration of ozone molecules. Ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun, protecting life on Earth from its harmful effects.
How is the ozone layer being caused?
Ozone is produced when UV-C is absorbed by oxygen molecules. These molecules break apart due to this energy, and some of them recombine into ozone. UV-C is also absorbed by nitrogen, so at some point all the UV-C is gone and no more ozone can be directly formed with just light. Hence the "layer" has a bottom.
What are absorbed by the ozone?
Harmful ultraviolet radiations are absorbed by the ozone layer.
What ultra voilet radiation is absorb by the ozone molecules?
UV-B rays are absorbed. These are most fatal for mankind.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is absorbed in the atmosphere?
Most visible light is bounced back into space, while some of it is absorbed into the atmosphere.

What is Earths incoming ultraviolet radiation absorbed by?
Nitrogen, Oxygen (UV-C and more energetic), and Ozone (UV-B and more energetic)
What are ozone layers confined of?
Ozone layer is confined of ozone molecules. These molecules form a huge pool of ozone molecules.
What is the source of warming the upper stratosphere?
The source of warming in the upper stratosphere is primarily the absorption of high-energy solar radiation by ozone molecules. This absorption leads to an increase in temperature as the ozone molecules absorb the energy and heat up the surrounding stratospheric air.
What us uv rays absorbed by?
The UV rays are absorbed by ozone. It is present in the ozone layer.
