Global warming. The universe mistook your butt for a globe and sense it's connected to your legs, there you go.
Just kidding, I needed a laugh.
- Yes, I do think the sun can penetrate certain materials.

Yes. Sunburn is caused by ultraviolet light exposure (UVA or UVB) not the light in the visible spectrum or the heat of a warm day. This is why it is possible to burn on a cloudy day. Fabrics provide varying levels of protection from this range of light. Generally, the thinner the fabric, the less protection provided.

Clothing provides only varying levels of sun protection, based on the material, its thickness, weave, etc.

Yes you can. Light clothing doesn't stop the damaging rays.
