The ozone layer is a thin part of the atmosphere high above the Earth (about 10–30 km up) made of ozone gas (O3). It acts like Earth’s sunscreen by absorbing most of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Without it, people and animals would get more sunburns, skin cancer, and plants and oceans would be harmed. Human-made chemicals (like old refrigerants) damaged the ozone, but international rules have been helping it recover.
