Re: A couple of questions about mars

Is there a ozone layer on mars?

There is, but it is very thin - about 1% of Earth's and sometimes disappearing altogether.

What caused the hole in our ozone layer?

To vastly oversimplify: the release of freon gases (used in refrigeration) into the atmosphere.

You can read more about it here ...
