I have heard that glass is polarized by some and some say it is not. Does normal window glass prevent or allow sunlight and UV rays to penetrate through and sunburn human skin?

I hear a couple of "no's" and I was wondering if someone could explain why.

Yes, sunlight comes through glass, that's why we put our house plants next to the windows and open the drapes. I've heard that when you drive around without sunglasses or sunblock you will tan through car windows, though I don't know about burning. Wear sunblock if you're worried about burning.

No, you cannot get sunburned through a glass window. The UV rays cannot penetrate the window, polarized or not.

certain, although no longer as instantly as in case you've been no longer shielded by technique of the glass. My students examined this concept with a number of those UV detection beads that regulate colour in UV basic. The beads DID change colour interior a closed motor vehicle window.

flacocajuncujo thats not right
windows in our houses r not glass
they r a type of plastic
uv rays can not go throw glass
it can only go through plastic
but not sure if it does go through plastic but the other rays of sun do maybe not the uv
hope that helps

I have gotten sunburned through the glass in car windows. I'm not really sure what polarization would do though.

The young lady Swimn is correct. You cannot get a tan or burn or otherwise through glass.
