Yes, but not as quickly as without the glass. While glass absorbs short wavelength ultraviolet light, it does pass 350 to 400 nanometer ultraviolet. While this longer wavelength ultraviolet is less harmful than the shorter wavelength variety, you can still tan or burn if you get enough exposure. Glass is like sunscreen--it protects you pretty well but it isn't perfect.

You surely can but the peak tanning time is about 10 minutes at the top of the sun's azimuth... the glass cuts (but doesn't totally eliminate) the rays needed to get a tan... the unfortunate thing is that even though you feel warm, you are getting the equivalent of a walk to your car in summer's worth of tan in the winter in front of a direct facing window.

You can absolutly get a tan through glass. The only thing that can prevent you from getting a tan, is if you have a special coating that blocks UV rays. While this is a common feature on sunglasses, it is rare on standard house windows.

No, the glass filters out the tanning UV rays. Does the same in the car.

Yes, you can...the same as through a car window.

i think but it would take a longer time much longer as uv rays are not as powerful

yes...without protection you can get a tan and even burn.
