Why does light from the sun give us cancer when light from our flashlight does not?

• Because our genetic material can take in energy from the sun, but not the flashlight.

• Because sunlight pulls energy out from our genetic materials and the flashlight does not.

• Because the sun gives off a type of light that carries energy, and light from the flashlight does not.

• Because light from the sun carries heating molecules, and light for the flashlight does not.
