Infrared (IR) light, visible light and X-rays are all electromagnetic radiation, and the only difference is in the frequency (or wavelength) of the energy. They are listed here in the question in order of lower to higher frequency, and that means longer to shorter wavelength.

Are infrared rays absorbed by the ozone layer and do they protect earth?

The ozone layer performs a unique role in absorbing UV-B from our Sun, a role no other common gas performs. Additionally, ozone absorbs uniquely a band of far infrared radiation, that otherwise has absolutely no harmful effects on life on Earth. Infrared presents no risk to life, but can serve to keep Earth warm. yes or no?
