Erm.

What about for the months of the year when it’s nighttime 20 plus hours a day?

Tanning beds are used by A LOT of people in AK. It’s called sun therapy. It beats the alcoholism that is also prevalent in a state where there’s so little daylight for long stretches of the year ...

The reason it IS light 20 hours a day is because of the unusually low angle of the sun on the horizon, keeping it in sight throughout much of the planet's asymetric parabola, while greatly weakening the strength of its rays (both infrared and ultraviolet a & b).

It ain't how long it's on you, it's how hard it hits you. You can burn in 18 minutes under the right (wrong?) conditions.

Good thought, just wrong.
