UVA: This type has the longest wavelength and can penetrate deeper into the skin layers. It is responsible for skin aging and contributes to the development of skin cancer. UVB: UVB has a shorter wavelength and is primarily responsible for sunburn. It plays a significant role in the development of skin cancer due to its ability to directly damage DNA. UVC: UVC is the most dangerous type, but it is mostly absorbed by the Earth's ozone layer and does not reach the surface.
