Automated excerpt

Different mechanisms, different scalesNot only are the mechanisms completely different for sunburn and solar heating, the orders of magnitude of energy are as well. Time of day affects UV and IR differentlyThe sun is by far the most intense when the sun is overhead - solar noon. On a uniformly cloudy day, both UV index and perceived warmth from the sun drop substantially.
