Constant sunlight exposure poses significant challenges to materials, surfaces, and living organisms due to the intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation, thermal energy, and photochemical reactions it induces. Understanding which materials and organisms can withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight is critical for applications in architecture, agriculture, aerospace, and environmental science. This article explores the resilience of various materials (e.g., metals, polymers, coatings, and textiles) and biological entities (e.g., plants, microorganisms, and human skin) under constant sunlight exposure. It examines the mechanisms of degradation, protective strategies, and comparative performance through empirical data and theoretical frameworks. Introduction Sunlight, a primary source of energy for Earth’s ecosystems, consists of electromagnetic radiation spanning ultraviolet (UV, 100–400 nm), visible (400–700 nm), and infrared (IR, >700 nm) wavelengths.
