Ultraviolet rays can damage skin cells and cause sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can also damage the eyes and weaken the immune system. It is important to protect oneself from UV rays by using sunscreen and wearing protective clothing and sunglasses.
