The sine ratio is basically a fraction of the opposite side over the hypotenuse. Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side, this means the fraction cannot exceed 1. If it did, then that would lead to the opposite side being larger than the hypotenuse but again the hypotenuse is the longest side. The largest the sine ratio can get is 1.
