Sun rays are strongest near the equator, where sunlight is more direct due to the Earth's curvature. Additionally, higher altitudes tend to have stronger sun rays due to the thinner atmosphere that filters less sunlight.
The sun's rays are strongest at 0 degrees latitude.
UV rays are most harmful between the hours of 10am and 4pm, when the sun is at its strongest. During these peak hours, it is important to seek shade, wear protective clothing, and use sunscreen to reduce your risk of skin damage.
Sunblocks with a high SPF (sun protection factor) of 50 or higher are typically considered the strongest as they offer the most protection against harmful UV rays. Look for broad spectrum sunblocks that protect against both UVA and UVB rays for the most effective protection. Additionally, water-resistant formulas can provide longer-lasting coverage.
The sun is strongest at the equator because of its direct angle, resulting in more intense solar radiation. The most direct sunlight on Earth occurs in the tropics, where the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface more vertically compared to higher latitudes.
The rays of the sun are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. during daylight saving time. This is when the sun is highest in the sky and the ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels are the highest, posing the greatest risk of sunburn and skin damage. It's important to protect your skin during these hours by seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and using sunscreen.
