Although it is harmful, it's still important. UV rays carries heat from the sun. Although the sun is the closest star from earth, it's still far away and it's almost about 150 million kilometers away from the sun and sunlight itself can't travel that far because the sun's surface is only about several thousand degrees Celsius, that's why they are carried by UV rays, so the earth will have the right temperature for living. If there is no UV rays, Earth will be like Pluto. UV rays can't travel more than a billion kilometers and Pluto is 7.4 billion kilometers away, so UV rays can't reach Pluto.
