Benefits Of Exposure To Morning Sunlight
Sunbathing is an activity that is done by standing, sitting or lying down in the morning sun. In addition to reducing depression and improving sleep quality, sunbathing in the morning is also believed to prevent bone disorders. The reason is, one of the benefits of exposure to morning sunlight is to help the body produce vitamin D naturally. Researchers suggest long sunbathing without sunscreen is 20 minutes every day. To reduce the risk of sunburn, you can sunbathe for 5-10 minutes. Bathing after sunbathing can help wash away the sweat that is produced after exposure to the sun's heat, and can also help relieve inflammation or inflammation when the skin is burned by the sun's heat (cold shower). The sun that makes skin black is when the level of ultraviolet rays is high, which is between 10.00 and 14.00. This is because the UV index at that time is very high, so sunbathing is not recommended.

I wish that there was better information about this topic on the Internet.
As I understand UVB radiation with turn cholesterol in the skin into vitamin D3.
UVB also causes cancer.
So, there is a trade off. One needs enough UVB to create vitamin D, but should avoid over exposure.
The big question is how much UVB radiation does a person need?
Additional questions follow such as how long do we need to be in the sun to get the beneficial effects? how long should we be in the sun? and how much skin needs to be exposed to the sun for the beneficial effects?
I understand that the atmosphere filters out UVB radiation.
Since sunlight has to pass through more atmosphere in the morning and evening, one receives less UVB radiation than at noon.
I understand that, with the tilt of the earth ... the atmosphere pretty much blocks most of the UVB rays during the winter.
My thoughts are that, during the winter, one needs to get out in the sun at noon. During the summer, morning and evening sun is sufficient.
