Ozone is an atmospheric gas. It is made up of 3 oxygen molecules. It forms a protective layer around the earth that reflects harmful ultraviolet rays away from the earth.

Ozone
A powerfully oxidizing allotropic form of the element oxygen. The ozone molecule contains three atoms (O3). Ozone gas is decidedly blue, and both liquid and solid ozone are an opaque blue-black color, similar to that of ink.
Some properties of ozone are given in the table. Ozone has a characteristic, pungent odor familiar to most persons because ozone is formed when electrical apparatus produces sparks in air. Ozone is irritating to mucous membranes and toxic to human beings and lower animals.
Ozone is a more powerful oxidizing agent than oxygen, and oxidation with ozone takes place with evolution of more heat and usually starts at a lower temperature than when oxygen is used. In the presence of water, ozone is a powerful bleaching agent, acting more rapidly than hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, or sulfur dioxide.
Ozone is utilized in the treatment of drinking-water supplies. Odor- and taste-producing hydrocarbons are effectively eliminated by ozone oxidation. Iron and manganese compounds which discolor water are diminished by ozone treatment. Compared to chlorine, bacterial and viral disinfection with ozone is up to 5000 times more rapid.
Ozone occurs to a variable extent in the Earth's atmosphere. Near the Earth's surface the concentration is usually 0.02–0.03 ppm in country air, and less in cities except when there is smog. At vertical elevations above 13 mi (20 km), ozone is formed by photochemical action on atmospheric oxygen. Maximum concentration of 5 Ã 1012 molecules/cm3 (more than 1000 times the normal peak concentration at Earth's surface) occurs at an elevation of 19 mi (30 km).

Hi Jimmy, The o-zone is the layer about earth that protects us from the powerful sun rays.Thats my understanding.

Ozone is triatomic oxygen (O3).
Diatomic oxygen (O2) is the oxygen we breath.
Monoatomic oxygen (O), also known as nascent oxygen, is highly reactive and known as a free radical in biology.
