Because that's where it is made: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_layer#SourcesRaghav Gupta said:How ozone having higher molecular mass then oxygen and CO2 is on a certain upper level of atmosphere?
Okay but what about the high molecular mass?DrClaude said:Because that's where it is made
Ozone is constantly being created by sunlight in the upper atmosphere, but it is also breaking down constantly as well, because ozone is unstable.Raghav Gupta said:Okay but what about the high molecular mass?
Why above CO2?
What is that particular condition that ozone is being created in upper atmosphere?SteamKing said:Ozone is constantly being created by sunlight in the upper atmosphere.

By distance above the ground what is happening?
Sorry, I am meaning that why can't photochemical reaction start at ground level?Chestermiller said:Photochemical reactions.
To a certain extent, the reaction creating ozone does occur close to the surface of the earth, but at ground level, the intensity of the solar radiation reaching the ground is diminished by the blocking effect of the atmosphere itself. In the upper levels of the atmosphere where most of the ozone is created, the great majority of the atmospheric mass lies below, and the solar radiation responsible for creating ozone is much stronger.Raghav Gupta said:Sorry, I am meaning that why can't photochemical reaction start at ground level?
Why only small amount of ozone at ground level?

Gas density refers to the amount of mass in a given volume of gas. It is typically measured in units of grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) or kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3).
As temperature increases, the particles of gas move faster and take up more space, resulting in a decrease in gas density. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the particles move slower and take up less space, leading to an increase in gas density.
According to Boyle's Law, at a constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. This means that as pressure increases, gas particles are packed closer together, resulting in an increase in gas density. Similarly, as pressure decreases, gas particles have more space to move, resulting in a decrease in gas density.
Earth's gravity is a force that pulls all objects towards its center. Gas particles have mass, and therefore, they are affected by this force of gravity. The closer the gas particles are to Earth's surface, the stronger the gravitational pull, resulting in a higher density of gas near the surface.
As altitude increases, the distance from Earth's surface also increases, resulting in a decrease in the strength of Earth's gravitational pull. Therefore, at higher altitudes, gas particles are less densely packed, leading to a decrease in gas density.
