The sun does a lot of good for our world - without it we wouldn't be here!
It feeds our plants, it keeps us warm, it lights our way - there are a million reasons why it is good for us.
One thing it is not always good for is our skin. Our skin is one of the most important organs (yes, it's an organ) of our body.
The sun's rays can produce a vitamin called vitamin D which is great to keep our bones healthy. But too many rays absorbed by our skin can be dangerous, and may cause lasting damage.
People who have been exposed to too much sun can get painful burns, but they might also be at risk of becoming very unwell. So that's why people wear sunscreen!
