Ozone, a triple oxygen molecule that acts as a natural shield against ultraviolet rays, is produced by lightning in the atmosphere. During a lightning strike, oxygen molecules are fragmented into radicals, which then combine to form ozone. The distinct odor of ozone is often likened to that of chlorine and is responsible for the refreshing sensation of cleanliness experienced after a thunderstorm.
