How Does the Ozone Layer Protect Us?

The ozone layer is like a superhero shield in the sky that blocks some of the Sun’s strongest rays. When these rays come down to Earth, they can harm our skin and even make it harder for plants to grow. The ozone helps stop that from happening, kind of like how sunglasses protect your eyes on a bright day.
