How does the sun cause such damage?
Sunlight that passes through earth is composed of visible light and ultraviolet light (UV).
UVA and UVB Light are one of the most common ultraviolet lights. UV lights falls
outside the visible light spectrum, meaning, the human eye cannot see this type of light
and can only be seen using a sophisticated tool which detects different light wavelength
across the light spectrum.
The difference between the two UV light lies in their ability to damage skin cells. UVB
light doesn’t get through the deeper layer of the skin and accounts for visible burns and
DNA damage across the top layer of the skin. (Here’s where you can find more detailed
