The sun's UVB rays triggers a modification of a cholesterol-related molecule. This creates a form of vitamin D which is then transported through the circulatory system into the liver where it is transformed into a new form of vitamin D known as 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the derivative that doctors use to assess overall Vitamin D levels.

The sun has no role in the formation of vitamin K as humans cannot synthesize this vitamin. The main sources of vitamin K are dietary sources, or as metabolic by-products of intestinal bacteria.

Sunlight helps in making of (synthesis of) Vitamin D. but Vitamin E is something that can only be consumed to meet the requirements of our body. E works as an anti- oxidant and it also a fat soluble vitamin. but no studies confirm that vitamins E cn be give off by sunlight. Vitamin help for nourishment or skin and hair as well. if Vitamin E were to be given out by Sunlight, sun damage would never have been an issue.
