Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The UV Index provides information on the strength of the sun's UV rays and the potential for skin damage. It is a measure of the amount of UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface, and it can help people determine how long they can stay outside without getting sunburned based on their skin type. It does not provide information on skin cancer occurrence, changes in UV production during solar activity, or the percentage of Earth's radiation emitted as UV.
