Children necessitate constant protection from sunlight, unlike the majority, who can remain under the sun for about an hour without burning. Solar radiation peaks around mid-day, so it's wise to limit exposure to the Sun at this time. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Bear in mind! The Sun's UV radiation can nearly double in intensity due to the reflective quality of snow.
