Question

Which colour of the skin will give greater protection from the sun's rays

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two types of melanin, eumelanin which gives skin a brown colour (tan) and pheomelanin which gives skin a red colour (burn). Regular sun exposure (e.g. every day) is associated with tanning. It increases eumelanin levels which gives skin a brownish tan and provides protection against the sun's rays.

Answer 2

Answer:

black colour because this colour is absorbent of sun rays
