The ozone layer above the Antarctic may be healing at last, according to a promising new study. The Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) found that the hole above the South Pole closed ...

The annual hole in Earth's ozone layer closed at the beginning of this month, scientists recently announced. This year's hole in the layer was smaller in 2024 than we’ve seen in any other year ...

The ozone layer sits toward the bottom of the stratosphere, roughly 20 to 40 kilometers (66,000 and 131,000 feet) above the ground.

As a result, the upper ozone layer above the Northern Hemisphere should be completely repaired in the 2030s and the gaping Antarctic ozone hole should disappear in the 2060s, according to a ...

The ozone layer shields life on Earth. We’ll soon lose a key way to monitor its health NASA's Aura and Canada's SCISAT near the end of missions to monitor ozone-depleting substances ...

The ozone layer that shields life from the sun's cancer-causing ultraviolet rays is showing its first sign of thickening after years of dangerous depletion, a U.N. study says.

Well, think of the ozone layer as planet Earth's sun cream, protecting the Earth from the Sun's radiation. It is absolutely crucial for life on Earth - without it, our planet would be uninhabitable.

A new UN report suggests the ozone layer is healing from the damage caused by chemical emissions, and it's raising hopes that detrimental changes in our climate can be averted through global ...

That ban, agreed under the Montreal Protocol, is widely considered to have been effective in aiding the ozone layer’s recovery. But the hole, which grows over the Antarctic during spring before ...

As of September 13, the ozone hole was 18.48 million square kilometres (7.13 million square miles) smaller than the same time in recent years. While scientists caution that this change is largely ...

Earth’s protective ozone layer is finally healing from damage caused by aerosol sprays and coolants, a new United Nations report said. The ozone layer had been thinning since the late 1970s ...
