Definitions:

Temperatures

The degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment, typically measured in degrees Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), or Kelvin (K).

Ultraviolet Radiation

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays.

Ozone

A reactive form of oxygen consisting of three oxygen atoms (O3), found in the Earth's stratosphere, it plays a crucial role in absorbing most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.

Boundary Conditions

Constraints or limits that define the state or parameters for a particular system or problem.
