    Pretty sure you can’t get a sunburn through glass. Cancer, yes, but not a sunburn.

      Some, but not all glass has a coating that blocks ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths. The technology was introduced in the 1980’s.

      Your link disagrees with you. Hoping nobody pays attention? Hoping for up votes?

      False fact post, bad faith actor, or llm. All 3?

      From your link: “You can still get burned with long enough exposure.”

        Lazy me, best I can find is with typical automotive glass a sunburn starts in several hours versus about 15 minutes with no sunscreen.

        So for the most part no. But it’s possible.

          The lazy part was your statement being at odds with your source, while discounting other folk’s experience or skin.

          I know of more than one person who has experienced sunburn from closed windowed (newer)vehicle rides in full sunlight.

      Depends on the glass. Normal glass has zero UV protection. In cars the front window usually has it, while the side windows don’t. Although I read that years ago, no idea what the current status is.

          Yes. The answer is yes, glass doesn’t prevent sunburns.

          It will delay them.

        You get sunburns from UV light, not heat alone

          Article states, accurately; “you can still get burned with long enough exposure”.

      It depends on the type of glass. “Normal” glass blocks UVB, which is the major cause of cancer from sunlight. I don’t know what type of glass they were using in 40’s era cars though.

      Funny you should mention that. The dapper gentleman in the front passenger seat was my grandfather. Back in the 40s, buying a new car was a very big deal, so he brought his friend from work and each of their mistresses. My grandmother didn’t find out about her until about a year later after all four of them had developed melanoma and naw I’m just fuckin’ with ya I dunno who they are.
