different between ozone vs stratosphere
ozone
English
Etymology
From German Ozon, coined 1840 by Christian Friedrich Schönbein, from Ancient Greek ???? (ózon), neuter participle of ??? (óz?, “I smell”), in reference to its pungent odour.
The “fresh air” sense is from an erroneous former belief that seaweed contains and releases ozone.
