उत्तर

Ozone

Explanation:

The ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere plays a crucial role in absorbing most of the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun. This layer acts as a protective shield, preventing these rays from reaching the Earth's surface in harmful amounts. Without the ozone layer, life on Earth would be exposed to higher levels of UV radiation, which can lead to skin cancer, cataracts, and other health problems.
