Solution

Ozone gas:

  1. Ozone is a naturally occurring gas made up of three oxygen atoms.
  2. It's blue in color and has a strong odor.
  3. The majority of ozone gas is found in the lower stratosphere, with 10% found in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the earth's atmosphere.
  4. This ozone layer acts as a shield, preventing ultraviolet radiation from the sun from reaching the earth's surface.
  5. Ozone therapy is used in the medical field to disinfect and treat diseases by limiting the effects of bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and protozoa.

Distance between Pluto to the sun:

  1. Pluto's orbit around the sun is highly elliptical. Pluto is 5.9 billion kilometers away from the sun.
  2. The distance can be expressed in miles as 3.67 billion miles.
  3. This distance is considered the average distance due to its elliptical path.
  4. Pluto is 4.44 billion kilometers from the Sun at the closest point in its orbit, known as perihelion. Then, at the most distant point in its orbit, known as aphelion, Pluto comes within 7.38 billion kilometers of the Sun.
