Scientists Discover Ozone Layer On Venus Ozone? Yeah, we’ve got that too. Our ozone layer protects us from harmful space radiation. I wonder what the Venutians use theirs for? “Computer models show that the ozone on Venus forms when sunlight breaks up carbon dioxide molecules, which releases oxygen atoms. Winds in the atmosphere of Venus sweep these atoms around to the night side of the planet, where they can combine to form two-atom oxygen molecules, as well as three-atom ozone molecules.” (via Space.com)
