A. The sun produces invisible rays called ultraviolet-A (UVA) or ultraviolet-B (UVB) that can damage the skin. Too much sun can cause sunburn, skin texture changes, and skin cancers. Rashes also can be attributed to sunlight. Even on cloudy days, UV radiation reaches the earth and can cause skin damage.
In fact, 87% of the sunâs rays penetrate through clouds, fog and mist. The worst sunburns happen when you least expect them. UV rays (ultraviolet radiation) are emitted by the sun and are responsible for the change in our skin color. This results in creating a tan, a burn, or skin cancer from overexposure.
