Of course. If your skin is exposed and it's sunny out, you'll tan regardless of the air temperature. Note the deeply tanned faces of famous Arctic explorers of the past and sno-ski bums of the present.

Answer 11

That depends.

Is it sunny?

A sun tan doesn't depend on temperature, but on how much light is coming from the sun (actually it depends only on UV light). You can get a tan while it's freezing, just ask anyone who has gone skiing.

You only need the sun to be out, you don't need the heat.
