Best Answer

The UV rays of the sun are a short wavelength wave, hence high energy. Their energy is of the right frequency to break apart some of the hydrogen bonds of your skin tissue. Thus the skin tissue is destroyed.

[In a similar way, a microwave oven has its frequency tuned to the resonance of the hydrogen radical, and vibrates it until the water boils.]
