What is the sun

• You May know that the sun is a star but the sun gives off lots of UVRs (Ultra Violet Rays). The earth’s atmosphere filters some of the rays so that it is not just plain radiation and helps us on earth. Also so the earth doesn't become super cold or super hot and it basically powers our eco system. Plants and animals need UVRs too.

Skin

• Your skin is one of the most important organ of your body and is also the biggest. Yep your skin is a organ too.

• Your skin uses the sun like a solar panel it takes the suns energy and it produces more skin. Too much of UVRs can develop skin cancer.

Skin Cancer

• Skin Cancer is a serious thing People have to take off half of there face to remove it.

• Skin Cancer is a overdevelopment in the skin that the sun helps this process. The overdeveloped cells become a harmful virus to the body. If they get in your blood stream you have to have pills and antibiotics to slow and stop the deadly process.
