The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, which absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Here's why this is important:
* Ozone Layer: The ozone layer is a region within the stratosphere with a high concentration of ozone gas (O3).
* Ultraviolet Radiation: The Sun emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can be harmful to living organisms.
* Absorption: Ozone molecules absorb most of the incoming UV radiation, preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface.
