Weird question. If you’re near a window and you just sit there near the window on a sunny day. Will you get tan? Even through a window?

I mean yeah, somewhat. Not much though

BeautyQueen · Answer

yes bc of the heat rays coming from the sun. that's why If you tilt a glass and put a stick near you can light it on fire. it's the uv rays I believe that come from the sun. So if u sit there long enough yes u can get a light tan.

Makes a lot of sense, thank you for enlightening us!

Nasa says that glass filters out about 97% UV rays leaving you with 3% to tan with. It'd kinda be like having ur phone completely deaf and using super slow charger, it'd still work but not very well. As for the glass making fire, light Is just pure energy, so if you concentrate alot of that pure into a single point it will get the atoms moving fast bc of the transfer dynamics and that starts a fire.

TL DR:
Yes but 97% less effective than going outside

Light is energy and concentrating energy causes fire
