The much loved Ozone layer. High above us, it converts UV rays into heat. Without it, the Earth would become sterilized, or in simpler terms, we'd be toast. Man made pollutants are constantly breaking down this part of the atmosphere, but more recently, the Ozone layer has been patching itself up. But what exactly is the Ozone layer?
The element that makes up the Ozone layer is oxygen. The exact compound is O3 which means that it is 3 oxygens linked together.
