Ozone

Real World Example

Imagine you're outside on a sunny day, and you find yourself squinting against the bright sunlight. Just like wearing sunglasses to shield your eyes from the sun's harsh glare, ozone in the Earth's atmosphere acts as a protective layer, blocking harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from reaching us. In this analogy, ozone functions as the sunglasses for our planet, absorbing and filtering out the UV light, much like how sunglasses reduce the sunlight intensity that reaches our eyes.
