The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ozone blanket:

  • The stratosphere is known as the layer of the earth’s atmosphere which is also the second major layer found in the atmosphere.
  • The stratosphere contains about 19% of the gases in the atmosphere and very little water vapor.
  • The ozone blanket which is composed of a high concentration of ozone is found about 18-26km above the stratosphere.
  • In the stratosphere, there is an abundance of the ozone layer, which protects us by absorbing harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.
