What are strongest solar rays that hit the Earth?
UV radiation is the most potent form of solar radiation. On its own, UV rays can burn the skin causing sunburns. If one is out in the sunlight long enough without sunscreen, skin cancer can start developing. UV rays penetrate the skin and alter body cells. Once carcinogenic, the cells replicate, spreading the disease. To observe the true potency of UV rays, one would only need to remove the ozone layer. Without the protection of ozone, life on Earth couldn't survive.
