Individual coming between Australian egg producer and UV protection (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
ozone layer
'uv protection' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'individual coming between australian egg producer' is the wordplay.
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'coming between' is an insertion indicator.
'australian' becomes 'Oz' (nickname for Australia).
'egg producer' becomes 'layer' (I've seen this in another clue).
'oz'+'layer'='ozlayer'
'one' going into 'ozlayer' is 'OZONE LAYER'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ozone layer that I've seen before include "protection from sun" , "One thinning over Antarctic" , "Shield against radiation" , "Region in stratosphere" , "Part of upper atmosphere giving protection from ultraviolet rays" .)
