  Ultraviolet (UV) light, a component of sunlight, can have a significant impact on the appearance and longevity of natural products. This is primarily due to the fact that UV light carries more energy than visible light, making it powerful enough to break chemical bonds. When UV light comes into contact with natural products such as wood, fabrics or artwork, it can cause the molecules that make up the pigments or dyes in these products to absorb its energy. This energy absorption can result in the breakage of chemical bonds, altering the structure of the pigment molecules. This process, known...
