MCQ
At what height over the earth does the ozone layer exist?
  • A
    $200\ km$
  • B
    $150\ km$
  • C
    $100\ km$
  • $25\ km$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$25\ km$
The ozone layer is present in the stratosphere above the Earth. The layer is present at a distance of about $20-30\ km$ away from the surface of the Earth. The layer of ozone is responsible for the absorption of the harmful $\text{UV}$ radiations from the solar radiations. These radiations are prevented from entering the Earth's atmosphere to prevent the development of skin cancer.
