Why do people with very light skin quickly “burn out” in the sun, and those with dark skin – tan?

This is due to the pigment in the skin cells. This pigment is called melanin. People with fair skin have less of it. This pigment protects us from UV rays. In people with a large amount of malanin in the cells, the skin tans. Pale people quickly “burn out” in the sun. But it is worth remembering that no one should be in the sun for a long time, as there is a risk of developing skin cancer. It is also necessary to periodically check with a dermatologist and independently examine the skin for the presence of strange birthmarks.
