Why do tears burn in the eyes when they start coming?

When tears start coming and raise in my eyes, my eyes burn in the first seconds.
Is it just because they are salty?

From Google/urbanoptique.ca,

>Several factors, including environmental irritants, sweat, dry eyes, blepharitis, and allergies, can cause the burning sensation from your tears.

Edit: to put in my own words, there can different reasons why your eyes might burn or sting when you cry, a lot of them having to do with external circumstances, and sometimes it can be because of hormones, as I also learned while looking for an answer.

This obviously doesn’t go into depth, but it could be a jumping off point!
