Solution

Ozone (O3) is a molecule made up of three atoms of oxygen. Ozone (O3) forms a layer in the upper atmosphere. It is essential for the survival of life on this planet. It shields the surface of Earth from harmful ultra-violet radiation (UV) coming from Sun as these radiations can cause skin cancer and cataract in humans. It also harms the crops.
