Melanin helps the skin by protecting it from the UV rays of the sun. Albinos are prone to a variety of skin diseases.Melanin are the cells in our skin that are colored. They are the color pigmentation that we have. The larger and closer together the cells are, the darker the skin color. When your talking about Hw, you are most likely talking about physics.

Does the gravitational field protect us from the sun?
No, the Earth's gravitational field does not protect us from the sun. The gravitational pull between the Earth and sun keeps Earth in orbit, but it does not provide any physical protection from the sun's radiation or heat. The Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field help shield us from harmful solar radiation.
What causes freckles and pigment moles?
The Sun! Freckles are a way our skin tells us: "Hey, I'm getting damaged by the sun!" What is happening is that the pigment producing cells in the skin, called melanocytes feed melanin to the keratinocytes, the normal skin cells that form the outer barrier of our skin to protect us. It keeps the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. When the melanocytes in the skin get damaged by the sun, we produce freckles which are abnormal collections of melanin pigment, packaged in a different way than a normal melanin pigment is packaged. They sit on the top layer of our skin which is called the epidermis. http://www.freckles.org/whatcausesfreckles.html
What gives your skin its color?
Melanin The amount of melanin you have in your skin is determined by your genes- it is a genetic trait you were born with inherited from your mom and dad. The sun makes skin get darker. In addition- The sun's UV rays are absorbed by melanin in varying concentrations resulting in different skin colors/freckles/tans etc.... The lighter a person's natural skin color, the less melanin the skin has to absorb UV and protect itself. The darker a person's natural skin color, the more melanin the skin has to protect itself.

Does everyone have the same amount of melanin?
Oh honey, no. Melanin is like a pigment party in your skin, hair, and eyes, and we all have different levels of it. People with darker skin have more melanin to protect them from the sun, while those with lighter skin have less. So, nope, we don't all have the same amount of melanin, and that's what makes us beautifully unique.
