1. Which gases in Earth’s atmosphere are breathable?
2. How does the ozone layer protect our planet?
All the gases in Earth’s atmosphere are breathable. However, some may be harmful to the biosphere (smog, other air pollution).
The ozone layer protects our planet by absorbing most of the UV radiation from the sun. However, some UV rays still penetrate through to the surface and are harmful to the biosphere.
