What Is The Ozone?
Ozone is a gas that is found in the layers of the atmosphere but mostly in the stratosphere. Ninety percent of the atmosphere's ozone is distributed in a ratio of five ozone molecules to every million molecules of other gases. This minute distribution serves as a shield that helps screen the sun's rays by absorbing some of the ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation.
Seventy-eight percent of the earth's atmosphere is made up of nitrogen. Roughly twenty-one percent of the earth's atmosphere is made up of oxygen. The other one percent is made up of at least twelve different gases. A few are carbon dioxide, Helium and O-zone.
Where Is The Ozone?
The ozone lies in the Stratosphere, above the clouds. It is roughly 6.5 - 30 miles up. You cannot see with your naked eye the ozone, so do not look for it.
