The difference between UVA, UVB and UVC What is ultraviolet radiation? Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is part of the Sun’s light spectrum that reaches the earth. UV radiation breaks down into wavelengths that are invisible to the naked eye. There are three types of UV rays: UVA, UVB and UVC. They decrease in length from A to C but increase in intensity, meaning that the shorter the wavelength, the more potential for damage. Fortunately, only UVA and UVB rays can penetrate the earth’s atmosphere. With the new SUV-A and SUV-B you can measure both single wavelenghts. UVB Affects the top layer of skin Cause most sunburns Linked strongly to skin cancer Damages DNA in your skin Burns unprotected skin in as little as 15 minutes
