Answer:

The atmosphere acts like a multi-layer shield that protects Earth from dangerous solar radiation. Ozone is found in two different parts of our atmosphere. The stratospheric ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet UV radiation, preventing dangerous UV rays from hitting Earth's surface and harming living organisms.
