Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of ozone in the Earth's atmosphere. Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (O₃) and is found primarily in the stratosphere.
Recognize the types of solar radiation. The sun emits various types of radiation, including infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, and microwave radiation.
Identify the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV radiation can cause skin cancer and cataracts, and it can also harm marine ecosystems.
Learn how ozone interacts with UV radiation. Ozone absorbs the majority of the sun's harmful UV radiation, particularly UV-B and UV-C, preventing it from reaching the Earth's surface.
Conclude that ozone primarily filters out ultraviolet radiation, protecting living organisms from its harmful effects.
