Benefits First and foremost, the Sun is our primary source of energy for our planet, and thus the preserver of life here. Without it, crops to feed us and our livestock would not grow, we wouldn't get our daily dosage of Sun (yes, we actually need some sunlight to stay healthy), and we would have no day, only night. Another benefit is that the Sun offers a free, effective form of energy that we can harness to power our needs. Dangers The first solar threat that comes to mind is a supernova. The Sun is a star like any other, and will eventually die. Albeit in a few billion years, that is definitely a threat. A star going supernova in such proximity with us would be unavoidably fatal. Solar flares and solar winds are another very real danger of the Sun. However, our magnetic field does well to protect us from these electromagnetic deathblows. The solar flares can extend very far into space, and the deadly solar winds would easily ravage Earth if allowed through. However, because these are highly magnetized, they do not reach Earth. Finally, is the energy of the Sun itself. Infared radiation, UVA, and UVB rays are all part of sunlight. Thankfully, our ozone does its best to filter many of these dangerous rays out. Nonetheless, sunscreen is a must whenever outside for extended periods of time, to avoid deadly cancers and burns. The Sun is a double-edged sword, if you will. It provides us with one of the basic necessities of life, yet is almost like having an atomic bomb in our backyard. Still, we should be thankful the Sun has been as stable as it has.

How close do you have to the be to the sun to burn?
The distance from the sun that is safe for humans is about 93 million miles, which is the average distance between Earth and the sun. As you get closer to the sun, the intensity of its radiation increases, resulting in sunburns and potential damage to the skin. If someone were to get within a few million miles of the sun, the heat and radiation would be intense enough to cause severe burns and pose a serious threat to their health.
What do the three form of radiation from the sun prodcue?
Among other things, the Sun produces light, heat, and cosmic radiation.
When is ozone beneficial to living things?
The ozone present at the atmospheric level is benificial to living things. It protects us from the harmful and fatal UV radiations of the sun.
What is a beneficial effect of the sun for living things?
One beneficial effect of the sun for living things is the production of vitamin D in humans and some animals, which is essential for bone health and overall well-being. Additionally, sunlight helps regulate our sleep-wake cycle and mood by influencing the production of hormones like serotonin and melatonin.
