Beware of too much sun

The sun gives us a lot of benefits. For one, its invisible infrared waves provide us warmth. Also, the heat helps our gardens grow and most importantly, we get our main source of Vitamin D from its ultraviolet rays.
But although the mighty sun furnishes us with so much goodness, too much of it can be harmful to our environment and to our health. A word of caution to sun lovers: sunshine in moderation is good, but sunbathing to an excess is bad.
Skin cancer is caused by excessive exposure to the sun’s heat. This type of cancer is more common among light-skinned persons because the skin pigment (melanin) in darker-skinned persons filters out some of the harmful ultraviolet light from the sun.
