The highest concentration of the ozone layer is found approximately 20 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. While ozone exists throughout the stratosphere (extending up to 50 km), its peak density—where it most effectively filters out the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays—occurs in the lower stratosphere between 15 km and 30 km.
