Ozone is a three-atom molecule of oxygen. Ozone has the skill to soak up radiation, which comes from the sunlight and from outer area and to mirror infrared radiation, which we sense as warmth. a number of this radiation can kill residing cells in organisms. people are incredibly liable to cosmic rays and x-rays. while infrared radiation strikes the floor or different products, it heats up the exterior of the objective. it incredibly is what some scientists worry will heat up the earth if the ozone layer is destroyed via airborne pollutants led to via human events and organic motives, which incorporate volcanic gases. those gases are regularly referred to as "greenhouse gases" or GHG by way of fact they might reason the earth to warmth up like a greenhouse if the ozone layer is depleted.
