UV exposure from excessive sunlight
Overexposure to sunlight can lead to a range of harmful effects, including sunburn, premature skin aging, and an increased risk of skin cancers, such as melanoma. It can also cause eye damage, including cataracts and photokeratitis. Additionally, excessive sun exposure can weaken the immune system and lead to heat-related illnesses. It's essential to protect the skin and eyes from prolonged sun exposure to minimize these risks.
The melanocytes are part of the integument's photoprotective mechanism; in response to sunlight, they produce melanin that has a protective role from the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Cucumbers turn yellow due to overripening, exposure to excessive heat or sunlight, or a nutrient deficiency.
Excessive exposure to sunlight can lead to several harmful effects, including an increased risk of skin cancer, particularly melanoma, due to the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on skin cells. It can also cause premature aging of the skin, resulting in wrinkles, age spots, and loss of elasticity. Additionally, overexposure can lead to sunburn, which causes pain and inflammation, and can weaken the immune system, reducing the body's ability to fight off infections.

Your aloe vera plant may be turning white due to excessive sunlight exposure, which can cause sunburn. Move the plant to a location with indirect sunlight to prevent further discoloration.
Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers. Fortunately, most skin cancers are slow growing, easy to recognize, and relatively easy to treat when detected early. Risk Factors: Gender: Men are more likely to develop non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancers than women. Age: Race: The risk for melanoma is 10x's higher for whites than for African Americans because of the protective effect of skin pigment. Whites with fair skin that freckles or burns easily are at especially high risk.

Do you mean melanoma. It can be caused by a number of things but sunlight is the main thing.
Your golden pothos may be turning white due to excessive exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause the leaves to become bleached or scorched. Consider moving the plant to a location with indirect sunlight to prevent further discoloration.
Coral bells leaves may turn brown due to overwatering, underwatering, excessive sunlight, or nutrient deficiencies. Check the plant's watering schedule, sunlight exposure, and soil nutrients to address the issue.
Cucumbers turn yellow on the vine due to overripening, which can be caused by factors like excessive sunlight exposure, nutrient deficiencies, or old age of the fruit.
