Can Sunlight Create Energy Particles Through Ozone?

In summary, sunlight has the ability to create energy particles through the process of ozone formation. When sunlight interacts with oxygen molecules in the upper atmosphere, it causes a chemical reaction that produces ozone. This ozone can then absorb and transform UV radiation from the sun into energy particles known as ions. These ions can then be harnessed to create electrical energy, making sunlight a powerful source of renewable energy. However, excessive ozone formation can also have negative effects on the environment, such as contributing to air pollution. Further research is needed to better understand the balance between utilizing sunlight for energy and protecting the ozone layer.

When sunlight passes through enough ozone, it forms energy particles. As strong as the theory is, it is currently not proven.
