Why the sun lightens our hair,
but darkens our skin?


If flying is so safe, why do
they call the airport the terminal?

sun darkens our skin be-coz it triggers the production of melanin. abrownish balck pigment that helps filter out harmful ultraviolet rays. it lightens hair becoz the UV light triggers the breakdown of these selfsame melanin molecules into simpler & evidently less colorful compound. The melanin in both skin & hair is meant to protect the other tissue, but in the skin its renewed & thus the skin gets darken.
