Ozone Layer Diagram — free printable diagram

About this illustration

A vibrant, cartoon-style diagram illustrates three primary layers of Earth's atmosphere: Troposphere (0-12 km), Stratosphere (12-50 km), and Mesosphere (50-85 km), with corresponding visual elements like clouds, airplanes, and a comet. A cheerful sun emits UV rays, with a key section highlighting the ozone layer (O₃) within the stratosphere as absorbing most harmful UV radiation. The image teaches about the structure and composition of the atmosphere, specifically the function of the ozone layer in protecting life from UV rays. There are no specific cultural or locale cues. This diagram is well-suited for use on slides for introductory lessons, as a visual aid on worksheets, or for a labeling exercise in K-6 Earth science classrooms. The visual style is a clear, flat, and colorful illustration with distinct labels and explanatory text.
