The Ozone layer

 Ozone is a gas with molecules

that are made out of 3 oxygen

atoms. The Oxygen that  we

 breath has 2. The Ozone layer

protects us from the suns radiation.

It is in the Stratosphere. There is

a holes in the Ozone layer over the

poles. The hole was made by Ozone

destroying chemicals. These chemicals

were in house items. The chemicals

take 2 or 3 years to get to the Stratosphere.

But when they get there they thin the Ozone.

Countries around the world decided to stop

using the Ozone destroying chemicals .

The hole will heal itself in 50 years or so if

 most people stop using ozone destroying

chemicals
