Do you get more tan in the water or by sun bathing

Question

I was wondering whether you get more tan in the water on a sunny day or but lying in the sun. Tell me why and how...

Answer 1

Your face gets more tan in the water because the sun reflects off the water. But if you want your whole body to get tan then lay out in the sun.  

Answer 2

sun bathing- because if you are standing in water it is harder  for the sun to see your legs for them to get tan with other than the upper half of your body and then when you are swimming in a pool it is hard for the sun to reach you through water. you might come with an uneven tan if you tan while like swimming or something.But if you are sun bathing the sun is like  hits you and you will have an even tan line. and that is about it  

Answer 3

sun bathing
