Do you mean elemental chlorine, or the "chlorine" that's used in Swimming Pools?
Sunlight can break down swimming pool "chlorine". For that matter, it can break down elemental chlorine also, into two chlorine free radicals, which are much more reactive than elemental chlorine (which is, itself, kinda reactive). Sunlight can cause a mixture of elemental chlorine and elemental hydrogen to explode.
Free radical chlorine is serious business. It's one of the prime culprits in the degradation of the Earth's ozone layer.
