Ozone *is* a greenhouse gas.

Some ozone is found in all layers of the atmosphere, but it does reach its peak cocentration in the lower stratosphere.

Note that the glass of a greenhouse is not down next to the plants...

Why ozone is found only in stratosphere?

Ozone is only found in stratosphere. it is because the various factors leading to ozone formation are there in stratosphere.


Is the ozone is only found in the stratosphere?

No, ozone is not only found in the stratosphere. It is because it is also found at ground level.


Why ozone is mostly found in stratosphere?

Ozone is mostly found in the stratosphere because this layer of the atmosphere absorbs and filters out the majority of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Ozone molecules in the stratosphere are formed when oxygen molecules are broken apart by UV radiation and then recombine to form O3 molecules. This helps to protect life on Earth from the harmful effects of excessive UV radiation.


Is most of the ozone in the earths atmosphere located in the ionosphere?

No, most of the ozone in Earth's atmosphere is located in the stratosphere, which is the second layer of the atmosphere. The ionosphere is located much higher in the atmosphere and is composed of ionized gases, not ozone.


How could ozone be characterized in the stratosphere?

Ozone layer is present at certain height in the stratosphere. It is the only characteristic of the layer of ozone.


Are greenhouse gases found in a layer like the ozone layer?

Greenhouse gases are not really found in a layer. Greenhouse gases are generally distributed, with the only exception of ozone itself. A greenhouse gas is any gas that is comprised of three or more atoms. Common in our atmosphere are: water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and a few more at very low levels. Greenhouse gases work by letting energetic light pass (say from the Sun), then not allowing infrared through without absorbing and scattering it.


Where ozone collects?

The ozone collects at the stratosphere. It is formed there only.


Which layer has no ozone?

Ozone is present in the stratosphere and troposphere of the earth's atmosphere only.


Is the ozone in the strtosphere is a form of air polluton?

No, it is not. The ozone in stratosphere is good ozone.


Are the ozone molecules in the protective ozone layer of the stratosphere are quite different than the harmful ozone molecules found in ground level smog and air pollution?

No, they're exactly the same. The only reason they're "good" in the stratosphere is that no one's trying to breathe them up there.


Why ozone layer formed only in stratosphere but not in other layer of atmosphere?

Yes, it is. The stratosphere contains all the factors that are needed to create ozone.


Does the messosphere contain the ozone layer?

No the mesosphere does not contain the ozone layer. The ozone layer is only present in the stratosphere.
