Why Does a Person Tan/Burn Faster on a HOT Day? | |
Thor's Hamster (OP) User ID: 17425693 United States 10/31/2012 08:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why does a person tan/burn faster on a hot day? Quoting: Thor's Hamster For instance, let's take a random date...let's say April 5. Let's say the high temperature for April 5 is 90 degrees. Let's say the next day (April 6), the high temperature is 68 degrees. A person will tan/burn faster on the hotter day (April 5), even though the sun is the same distance from the earth, and the person is in the same location on both days. Only the temperature is different. Why is this? I forgot to add that there would be no clouds on either day. Just sunshine. Apollo astronauts couldn't have passed through Van Allen's Belt. Van Allen wore suspenders. |

That's the answer I got from someone I know, too, when I asked him this. But I think we all know from experience that you tan/burn quicker when it's hotter out. I would bet money on it. I can remember times when I have. Hmmmm...something fishy about this. Apollo astronauts couldn't have passed through Van Allen's Belt. Van Allen wore suspenders. |

Yes you can burn due to UV light only, but additional heat increases the risk, it has to. buy not by. The reason I asked if it was a trick question is because despite the UV thing, yeah, fishy, heat burns. UV light vs UV light and heat seams like a no brainer. No doubt the 1 star bandit thought the same thing. Wasn't me though. |

No doubt the 1 star bandit thought the same thing. Wasn't me though. Ya, it seems simple until you really ponder it. I agree, I think heat HAS to come into play. And if it does, then the question becomes: What makes a day HOTTER than another? It could be high pressure, a wind pattern, etc. So in effect, high pressure or the wind pattern can ultimately be responsible for a person tanning/burning quicker (besides the U.V. factor, of course).

I have to think that a person would tan/burn faster on the hotter day (even if both days were sunny and cloudless). Maybe I'm wrong. But I seem to remember personal experiences of this being outdoors on two consecutive days when the temperatures were pretty drastically different.

Therefore, if there was a hole in the ozone layer above you one day, there would be more heat (radiation) get through to your body. The next day, that hole may have moved, or the thickness of the ozone layer may be different, therefore giving a different temperature...and shit... I dunno. I'll go back to playing xbox now...

I am fair skinned and I walk around in the summer with just shorts on during my leisure time. I never burn, no matter how long I am out in the sun. Fruits, vegetables, and supplements like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, coupled with whey protein do the trick. I would post a link but I don't want to be accused of spam. |

KonspiracyKitty User ID: 1295140 United States 10/31/2012 10:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I would think that when it is hot you're getting hit with more "rays" from the sun. When it's colder, for whatever reason, there isn't the same volume of rays available for you to soak up. Your question could also be worded as why is it hot some days and cold others even when the distance from the sun is equal, there is an equal number of clouds, et cetera. Dunno though. >_> |

Of course it's true. Simply test it out for yourself. Science is about testing. Everyone knows you tan/burn faster on a hot day. My question is: If the sun is no closer (in relation to its rays striking the earth) between 2 consecutive days, and if there are no clouds on either day, what is the cause of the quicker tan/burn?
