There is a special layer of air molecules high in the [[stratosphere]] layer of Earth’s atmosphere, called the [[ozone layer]]. The composition of the atmosphere is different in the ozone layer. There are more [[ozone]] molecules than anywhere else. Ozone molecules help block some of the [[Sun]]’s strongest rays. Currently, [[scientist]]s are monitoring this layer. It has recently become so thin at the [[South Pole]] where the molecules are being destroyed that we call it a hole. | There is a special layer of air molecules high in the [[stratosphere]] layer of Earth’s atmosphere, called the [[ozone layer]].
