But why is the rum always gone?	Even indirect sinlight can cause this and it depends upon many factors. Each person is an individual and each area on Earth receives differing concentrations of UV light. A fair skiined person in Australia could burn in less than 5 minutes due to the direct sunlight, the ozone depletion there, and their genetic make up. A dark skinned person in Iceland may never burn!

kiki g	It depends on skin-tone, sun-intensity and even medications; however, indirect sunlight can cause burning just as easily.

Lisa	The sun's rays are strongest from 10am - 2pm. That's when you are most likely to burn, and it will be quicker than other times of the day. If you have fair skin, it could be as little as 15 min. or as long as 1hr. The darker your skin, the longer it usually takes. If you are on or in the water, burning is also quicker. There are many variables. Hope this helps. OH and by the way...on cloudy days (if they're not real thick) the chances of burning also increase. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
