Question

The majority of ozone that protects against the high energy radiation of the sun is found in the ________.

a.thermosphere
b.mesosphere
c.mesopause
d.stratosphere
e.troposphere

Answer 1

Stratosphere is the majority of Ozone that protects against the high energy radiation of the sun. Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen. It is the necessary protective component of upper atmosphere but considered a pollutant in the atmosphere.

In troposphere temperature increases with increasing ltitude. Ozone was discovered in 1913 by French Physicists called Henri Buisson and Charles Fabry. 97 TO 99 percent of sun’s medium-frequency ultraviolet light are absorbed on the Ozone layer.
