I understand how it is formed . The particles from the sun are all ionized and the beta particles are attracted to the north pole and that makes it negative . The alfa particles are attracted to the south pole and make it positive . This charge that is formed across the earth holds the O3 in place . There are huge amounts of current flowing through it . There is a picture from a airplanes camera of a lightning strike from the clouds up . Now there is nothing up there except the ozone layer for lightning to jump to.
