Ultraviolet (UV) rays, specifically UVA and UVB rays, are the types of waves that are responsible for causing suntans on the skin. These rays penetrate the skin and stimulate the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin coloring, resulting in a tan. It's important to note that UV exposure from sunlight can also lead to skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer.
