Fine questions my friend, I have the answer to only one.

Your skin turns darker from the sun as a result of melanin, the more melanin a person has the darker the skin, sometimes melanin is clustered which results in freckles.

Our hair however is made up of dead cells called keratin (also responsible for finger and toe nails), since the cells are dead the only reaction is bleaching.

pretty simple

Good answer John, I know all about those freckle things. I laugh around here quite often. I am always asked what is wrong with my skin. I had to have some passport photos made while I was in Thailand, the guy photoshopped them and believe it or not, I have porcelin, creamy, white skin...not a single freckle!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

Good Questions time, I like the sheep one. I can't tell you how many wool sweaters and socks I have lost.
