  • Stratosphere Facts: Understanding the Ozone Layer and UV Protection
    Here's a true statement about the stratosphere:

    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.
