Yes... and dont forget the UV rays that are very harmful for you and cause skin cancer.

It's fine to tan when it's cloudy but the rays of the sun are stronger when it's cloudy so the sun can get through.

yes you can tan when its cloudy. Darkening of the skin is caused by an increase or release of the pigment melanin into the skin's cells after exposure to ultraviolet radiation. UV Rays can penitrate the clouds even though the suns light cant.

The rays of the sun that cause the damage to your skin (ultra violet) penetrate through the clouds, so yes you can tan when it's cloudy.

YOU BET! Scientists say that you get a better tan when it is a warm cloudy day then when the sun is out completly!
Isn't that great? you get the tan and leave the sunburn

i got sunburned on a cloudy day. i went swimming and burned pretty badly, and it didn't tan afterwards. i'm hoping it was just because i was pregnant. i haven't tried since. but if it's hot enough out and the sun in behind those clouds bringing the heat i think you could.

well it is a possibility cause the clouds act like reflectors sort of. you know when it is clowdy and snowy it is warmer than when it is a clear sky and not couldy. besides that clouds are water just in smaller particles and water reflects stuff. u know how you can get burnt worse when swimming then in like hiking or something.
