because ultraviolet light is radiation lying in the ultraviolet range, with wave lengths shorter than light but longer than x rays, while visible light can be seen by the human eye so therefore can be avoided easier

Why are ultraviolet rays more harmful to the skin than visible light?

That's related to the fact that UV rays have more energy per photon.


How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?

It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
