the ozone layer helps in protecting earths surface form

The ozone layer helps in protecting Earth's surface from ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by the Sun. Specifically, it absorbs the majority of the sun's high-energy ultraviolet radiation, particularly UV-B (280 to 315 nanometers) and UV-C (100 to 280 nanometers). UV-B has been associated with increased risk of skin cancer, cataracts, and other health issues in humans, as well as being damaging to some plants and animals.

Without the ozone layer, much higher levels of UV radiation would reach Earth’s surface, leading to more severe health and environmental consequences. It acts like a shield in Earth's stratosphere and is essential for the preservation of life on our planet.
