Say I am sitting in the shadow, but the sunlight gets reflected by some window pane onto me. Does this contain enough UV light to give me a sunburn?

    You can get a burn from a reflection. There’s a building in Las Vegas that caused this problem due to its windows and angle towards the sun.

    There are too many variables to say if you’ll get a burn though.

      Such as how much light is reflected, whether any windows have UV coating, how much exposure you get, and how susceptible you are to burning.

      But it’s possible.
