The more the merrier. That's why tomatoes grow more in the Mediterranean, where the sun is a scorcher.
Water loads, but just after sundown, or the water will boil the roots. (So to speak, but it does damage plants to be watered in the full sun)

It needs @ least 6 hrs. I did plant 2 plants last yr. in partial sun, didn,t do great tho. I water every 2-3 days.

Water every day in this heat. Sun all day is the best but at least 3/4 of a day. Make sure that your soil drains well and that you keep a good layer of mulch. If you can't water ever day then...more mulch and maybe some of the soil water holders.

i water mine every 2 to 3 days. get a spade and turn over a small patch of soil, its probably still moist even after a couple of hot sunny days. and full sun is best. good luck

My tomato plant gets half-sun and
a daily drink of water.
Right now, it's taking over the back yard.
If it gets any larger, I might have to
re-name it, THE THING.
Today, while I was cutting the grass,
it bit the lawn mover.

no,but at least 6 to 8 hours the sun helps to sweeten and ripen them better
