Our relationship with the sun- it’s complicated

Our relationship with the sun is undeniably complex. The sun plays a vital role in sustaining life for both plants and humans. Plants and organisms rely on photosynthesis to grow and thrive, while our bodies benefit from the sun's influence on our circadian rhythm, regulating our sleep-wake cycles. 
But to complicate things, prolonged and unprotected exposure to the sun's UV rays can lead to sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer.
