Which layer protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays of the Sun?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ozone layer
The ozone layer, located mainly in the stratosphere, absorbs a substantial portion of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation, especially UV-B and UV-C. Therefore, option C is correct. This absorption reduces biological damage to humans, animals and plants. The troposphere is the weather layer, the mesosphere is where many meteors burn, and the exosphere is the outermost thin region.
