Nitrogen and Oxygen stop UV-C and more energetic radiation. When they do this, they are broken down into constituent atoms.
N2 + energetic light -> 2N
O2 + energetic light -> 2O
Some of the oxygen forms ozone (eventually). Ozone is broken apart by absorbing UV-B and more energetic radiation.
O3 + energetic light -> O2 + O

Harmful UV rays were always there. But we were protected from them by ozone layer.
Ozone layer blocks the UV rays. It does it in the ozone layer.
The ozone layer absorbs a significant amount of UV rays from the sun. This layer is located in the stratosphere and helps protect life on Earth from the harmful effects of excessive UV radiation.
UV rays are blocked by the ozone. It is present in the ozone layer.
The ozone layer, located in the stratosphere, helps to protect us from harmful UV rays by absorbing and filtering out a significant portion of the incoming radiation from the sun.
The ozone layer protects us from UV rays. They are fatal rays of the sun.
Yes the ozone layer protects us from uv (ultra violent) rays
The job of ozone layer to protect us from UV rays. These are fatal rays of sun.
Ozone layer can protect you. It is present in the stratosphere.
Harmful UV rays were always there. But we were protected from them by ozone layer.
The atmosphere protect us from UV. The main reason behind it is ozone present as ozone layer.
The ozone protects us from UV rays. These are fatal rays for life on earth.
Ozone blocks the UV rays. They are the harmful rays of the sun.
It does protect the biosphere as it contains ozone layer. It protects us from UV rays.
Ozone is present in ozone layer. It absorbs most of the harmful UV rays of the sun.
Sunscreen protects you from UV rays by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering the harmful ultraviolet radiation before it can penetrate your skin. The active ingredients in sunscreen work to shield your skin from UVA and UVB rays, reducing the risk of sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. Be sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF and reapply regularly for continued protection.
Ozone layer absorbs the harmful UV rays. It acts as a shield to the earth.
