**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Electromagnetic Spectrum**: The electromagnetic spectrum consists of various types of electromagnetic radiation, which are categorized based on their wavelengths. This includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet (UV) rays, X-rays, and gamma rays. 2. **Identifying Sunlight Composition**: Sunlight is composed of a range of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet rays. Among these, ultraviolet rays are particularly significant when discussing the ozone layer. 3. **Role of the Ozone Layer**: The ozone layer is a region of Earth's stratosphere that contains a high concentration of ozone (O₃) molecules. One of its primary functions is to absorb the majority of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. ...
