What is Ozone Layer? - Environmental Science for Kids | Educational Videos by Mocomi

What is ozone layer and how it is getting depleted?

Life on earth is protected from the UV rays by a layer in the upper atmosphere (known as the stratosphere), which surrounds earth. This layer is called the Ozone layer.

Ozone is a gas made up of three oxygen atoms (O3) much like the layer of butter that settles on top if a glass of buttermilk is left unattended for a while.

This layer is just about 3-5mm thick. This thinly spread-out gas has been protecting life near the earth’s surface from the sun’s harmful UV rays for billions of years.

Ozone is spread thinly throughout the stratosphere in low quantities.
