Answer:

Ozone is produced by the reaction of solar radiation with atmospheric oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Ozone is a special form of Oxygen which is present in the atmosphere and it protects us from dangerous ultraviolet radiations which comes from the sun. The chemical formula of ozone is O3. This gas is produced naturally in the stratosphere when some highly energetic solar radiation come from the sun and strikes molecules of oxygen present in the atmosphere and cause the two oxygen atoms to split apart in a process called photolysis.
