The sun's solar activity has a large impact on the ozone layer. So much so, that a lack of sun hitting the ozone layer near each pole in the winter months causes a thinning we refer to as a hole. This natural event heals itself shortly after the sun returns. A large enough solar flare could cause major issues with this layer, as it did n 1859 (the year of our largest ozone layer "hole").

The use of CFC's is also believed, by some, to help enlarge this event.

Humans are threatening the ozone layer primarily through the release of ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. These substances are commonly found in refrigerants, aerosol propellants, and foam-blowing agents. When released into the atmosphere, they break down ozone molecules, leading to the depletion of the ozone layer.
