The Sun Burn

Sun is the abundance source of energy. It gives light, heat and rejuvenation for infinite number of living beings. Sun augments the process of photosynthesis to ensure food production for the sustenance of human beings. Above all day, night, seasons, whether and climate depend up on the blessings of sun. This may be the reason behind the worship of sun from time immemorial by our grandparents.

Sun light is essential for the existence of organisms. But the intensity of sunrays is unaffordable to any living being that has the power to destruct everything in a few seconds. The sun is the centre of our solar system which is 109 times bigger than earth and weighs 2x1027 tonnes. Even though the sun is 150000000 km away from the earth and the sun rays take 8.2 minutes to reach the earth, it’s direct exposure may hit the lives. The temperature of the photosphere is about 6000 degree Celsius that is unimaginable to the living beings of this earth.   

It is Ozone Layer protects living beings from the direct exposure of sunlight. Ozone layer prohibits ultraviolet rays and makes the sun rays mild. But the intensity of sun rays exceeds our affordability in certain conditions in severe summers that causes the phenomenon sun burn. As a tropical country India receives vertical sunrays half of the year that will be in the acme during summer seasons (Aapril, May). In northern India temperature rises to 50 to 55 in summer seasons. This over exposure of sun rays leads to sun burn. Sun burn produces itch, burn in the skin and some time even cause death of individuals. It is precautions make people get rid from the sun burn, 1) avoid direct exposure between 11-3 2) wear safe clothing or remember to bring brawly 3) avoid day time work and 4) Keep ourselves away from sunlight.

While raising concern about sunburn and global warming, the actual cause needs to be explained. It is industrial expulsions and green house gas destruct the protecting layer Ozone. Depletion of Ozone leads to the direct reach of ultraviolet rays in to the surface of earth. When the pollution increases sun rays also intensifies, that is the Green House Effect. In other words there is an equal and opposite reaction for every actions. If we consider the environment, that will protect us and if we turn evil the nature too. It is a natural phenomenon and rule.

Let me conclude – Please reduce pollution, protect environment and save lives by preserving our mother earth.
