Which layer protects earth from harmful rays of the Sun?
Answer: B
The ozone layer, in the stratosphere between about 15 and 35 km, shields the earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Ozone absorbs almost all UV-C and most UV-B, which would otherwise cause skin cancer, cataracts and damage to crops and plankton. Absorbing that energy is also what warms the stratosphere.
