4 Awesome Things You Didn't Know The Sun Was Doing For You

First of all...

Ever ventured outside your house for one reason or the other (presumably to get a better view of a girl's behind, I wouldn't know) and found yourself face-to-face with scorching, white hot, egg-frying sunlight? Yes, I know how you felt - we've all been there. You probably started wishing the sun would melt into obscurity or something at that awkward moment. Well I'm here to convince you cuz, that you need the sun more than you think you do. Moving on, did you know that the sun...

4. Kills bacteria in the air
Some lighter-than-air organisms such as floating bacteria and mould would form a big part of the very air we breathe in, except for our good friend, the sun. The heat radiating from the sun dries out and kills these stuff before they get to our fine noses and into our even finer lungs.

3. Makes us more healthy
That's right people! Getting a sexy hue of brown (or red) isn't the only thing we benefit from splaying our beautiful bodies under the sun. Scientists (you know, people that peek into microscopes for a living) have conducted their oh so efficient studies, and found that early morning sunshine catalyses the skin to produce a much needed kind of steroid vitamin called Cholecalciferol (vitamin D for the lay man).

2. Cooks food for us
Have you ever walked along a road, hand-in-hand with your newest conquest, and just happened to be upon a ripe, succulent fruit and couldn't resist taking a bite? You may help yourself, I'm not trying to stop you, I'm just saying you should at least look up to the sun and whisper a silent "Thank you" as you munch away. And no, I'm not telling you to worship the sun either. Now you may be wondering, why the sun? Why yes, the sun because it literarily 'cooks' all the fruits and leaves we eat for us.
This occurs through a process scientists call Photosynthesis (God, those guys!), which is essentially using the greenish matter in leaves, called chlorophyll (You keeping up with these names?) and a gas called oxygen to produce carbohydrates, which is essentially a complex sugar. This is in turn stored in fruits as it is produced, where they undergo a very slow fermentation to form the ripe, succulent fruits we love so much.

1.Powering our electronics
Okay this shouldn't be on this list, but whatever. Have you ever wondered why your calculator's battery lasts longer than your relationships? Probably haven't. Anyways, it probably does because it is equipped with a solar panel, you know, the stuff that looks like tinted glass on the top. I say 'probably' here because some calcs don't have this 'add-on'. This solar panel works by using the light energy from sunlight to produce electricity, which powers up your calculator, thereby saving battery life.
