"When you’re in a car, train or bus, do you choose a seat to avoid being in the
sun or do you like the sunny side?

You can definitely feel the sun’s heat through a window. But can you get
sunburn or skin damage when in your car or inside with the windows closed?

Let’s look at how much UV (ultraviolet) radiation passes through different
types of glass, how tinting can help block UV, and whether we need sunscreen
when driving or indoors."
