Ultra-violet radiation from the sun is caused by the high temperature of the sun, which in turn is the result of nuclear fusion. High temperatures cause sub-atomic particles to vibrate rapidly, and vibrating electrons give off electromagnetic radiation. The faster the electrons vibrate, the higher the frequency, and the higher the energy content of the radiation that they radiate.
