Explain why we become tanned after sitting in the sun?

We become tanned after sitting in the sun due to the production of melanin, a pigment in the skin. When exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays, the skin's melanocytes increase melanin production as a protective response to prevent DNA damage from the UV radiation. This increased melanin causes the skin to darken, resulting in a tan. However, excessive sun exposure can lead to skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer.
