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.

Depends on your skin type.If you are fair, then about 30min, if you have an olive complexion, then about an hour. The darker the skin, the longer you can stay out in sun, unprotected without getting a bad burn. But sunscreen is more important then stopping the burn, it can keep you from developing skin cancer. You can still get a light tan using sunscreen. So be smart about it and wear at least a 30spf when planning on being outside for a prolong period of time.

Depends on the person and the sun. If you are pale, it won't take long. I live in the mountains and on a clear day, I sunburn fast. About thirty minutes produces peeling.

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!

That depends on how pale you are. I get a sunburn in about an hour and a half with sun screen, in direct sunlight, but I am also really pale.

If you start young and love the sun as my husband did, you will end up having to go to the doctor to have cancer spots on shoulders, face, arms legs wherever cut out. Follow the other suggestions and be careful. Sharon

Depends on how sensitive your skin is to the sun, and the sun doesn't nesessarily need to be out for you to get sunburnt either. There are days when the sun is hardly out and it's windy, thats usually when I get sunburnt the most. Weird.

It depends on skin-tone, sun-intensity and even medications; however, indirect sunlight can cause burning just as easily. It's best to just not risk it and always wear sunscreen on areas of the body (i.e. face) that burn the easiest. Ultimately, you know your body best...

Usually about 15-30 minutes, depending on what time of day it is.

It depends on how strong the sun is that day. On sunny days 30 min. to an hour. Maybe. (?)
