What else can I help you with?
Why do you call the ozone layer a space shield?
The ozone layer is often referred to as a "space shield" because it helps protect the Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. It acts as a barrier, absorbing and scattering the majority of incoming UV rays before they reach the Earth's surface, thus shielding us from their damaging effects.
What is atmosphere layer including the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is not a basic layer of the atmosphere.Starting at the Earth's surface:tropospherestratosphere (the bottom of which contains most of the "ozone layer")mesospherethermosphereexosphere (which extends into outer space)
Ultraviolet rays from the sun are reglected back into space by this special layer in the atmosphere?
Ozone layer reflects ultraviolet rays back into space. It acts as a protective shield, absorbing and filtering out harmful UV radiation to prevent it from reaching the Earth's surface in large quantities. This helps protect living organisms from the damaging effects of excessive UV exposure.
The ozone layer helps to sustain terrestrial life by?
The ozone is important for life on this planet because it forms the protective bubble that keeps our atmosphere in and keeps it from escaping into space. It also acts as a sort of shield and blocks harmful rays from the sun.
What is the importance of the ozone layer?
Ozone layer is the layer absorbing UV-B radiations. This UV radiation can cause skin cancer and DNA alteration. Thus, this is a layer which cannot be avoided.Ozone layer absorbs around 97% of the total radiation received from sun. Because it helps to block radiation earth is much cooler and habitable. Without ozone layer, humans would not have survived.

Do spacecraft harm the ozone layer?
No they are in space. No ozone in space.

How is the ozone layer being monitored?
Ozone layer is being monitored by scientists. Satellites are roaming in space for it.
Why are there no hole in the ozone layer when spacecrafts leave the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is just a layer of gas, so while the ozone might get "stirred up" a bit, it does not form a hole. An ozone hole is not a physical hole; it's only an area in the ozone layer where the ozone levels are very low because of decomposition by chemicals. Consider this: If you move your hand through the air, does it leave a vacuum behind? No. The air around it fills in the space almost instantly. Same thing with the spacecraft going through the ozone layer.
Is it true that aside from the ozone layer the earth is also protected by water just before the ozone layer?
No. It is too cold for water "just before" the ozone layer. Might be a bit of ice crystals, but they would only reflect some light into space, and not really interact with energetic radiation.
Can you pass the ozone layer?
Of course you can pass through the ozone layer, how could we get into space. It's just a layer of invisible something-or-not-whatsit-called stuff.

Are holes in ozone layer due to space shuttles?
Ozone depletion is caused due to space shuttles. But not enough to cause a hole.
Can space ships damage ozone layerexiting and entering atmosphere piercing the thin ozone layer?
No they can't. They will just displace the ozone.
Is nasa sending satellites to space to cool the ozone layer down?
No. The ozone layer would be more easily destroyed than cooled by anything lofted there.
The ozone layer helps to sustain terrestrial life by?
The ozone is important for life on this planet because it forms the protective bubble that keeps our atmosphere in and keeps it from escaping into space. It also acts as a sort of shield and blocks harmful rays from the sun.
