Answer 4

Yes, you can get skin cancer but you can also get burnt by the sun, causing a stinging sensation after a period of time in the rays. Skin cancer can kill but do not worry too much - as long as you don't spend hours in the sun each day, put on a hat or sunscreen, you should be fine.

Good things...sunlight gives you vitamin D, it feels good and darkens your skin (if you want to).
