Ozone is a gas made up of three atoms of oxygen joined together. It is formed high up in the atmosphere by the action of ultraviolet rays of the sun on oxygen atoms. Ozone layer prevents the harmful ultraviolet rays of sunshine from reaching the earth and protects us. UV rays of sunshine can cause us skin cancer, cataract in eyes and damages our immune system thereby, destroying our environment.
