Ozone

Real World Example

Imagine you're outside on a sunny day and you decide to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun's harsh glare. Just like sunglasses shield your eyes from bright sunlight, ozone in the Earth's atmosphere acts as a protective layer that blocks harmful UV rays from reaching us. In this analogy, the sunglasses represent the ozone layer, your eyes are like the Earth's surface, and the sun's glare is akin to the UV rays; both serve as filters to keep us safe from potentially damaging exposure.
