The ozone layer is significant because it acts as a protective shield in the Earth's stratosphere, absorbing the majority of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This helps to prevent many harmful effects on humans, animals, and plants, such as skin cancer, cataracts, and harm to marine life.
