As school kids, we all learn in science class that the sun is 93 million miles away from earth, but what does that really mean? That number is so unfathomable to most of us that we need to put it in other terms in order to begin to grasp its enormity. Here is one example that will help put this huge number in perspective. It is a three thousand mile drive from Florida to California. Suppose that you made a round trip driving from Florida to California and back in one week, (not recommended but possible). If you could make that trip every week for a year, then it would take you 298 years to reach 93 million (not recommended or possible).
The sun is the perfect distance to serve its life-giving function for the inhabitants of earth. It provides vitamin D, an essential nutrient. The sun is also the key agent of photosynthesis, necessary for plant life to flourish. Without the sun just the right distance away, our planet could not sustain life. In fact, if the sun were closer or farther away from earth, then our planet would be unable to sustain life.
However, the sun gives and the sun takes away. Although its life-giving properties are well documented, too much of a good thing can be hazardous to your health. The sun contains harmful ultraviolet rays that can contribute to the development of skin cancer. The Sunshine State offers a pleasant climate year-round, but it also increases the need for protection from the sun.
One easy, relatively inexpensive way to protect yourself and your family is to have window tinting installed. Window tinting is available in your automobile, home or office, and it offers many advantages including protection from UV rays.
Solar Solutions Window Tinting is locally owned and operated by Brian Schauder, and we have served the Treasure Coast of Florida for over a decade. Focusing on one thing since 1994 has allowed us to become very good at what we do. We offer vehicle, commercial and residential window tinting in Vero Beach and Sebastian. We offer the highest quality work, paired with integrity and professionalism.
