Sunburn happens when your skin gets too much sunlight, especially from the UV rays. These invisible beams hurt your skin cells, making them swell up and feel sore, like getting a tiny pinch all over your body.
Examples
- A child playing outside without a shirt gets a bright red face and cries because it hurts.
- After a long day at the beach, someone’s arms feel like they're on fire from head to toe.
- A person forgot sunscreen and now their nose is peeling and feels sore.
