Extended time in the sun generally does not harm most, but those with sensitive skin, infants, and children should always be protected. The solar radiation is most powerful near the mid-day, so the exposure to the direct Sun should be reduced accordingly. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Take into account! The reflection from snow can nearly double the Sun's UV radiation intensity.
