According to my nutrition teacher, if you have a lot of exposed skin it only takes about 15 minutes a day in the summer. In the winter at northern latitudes it can take several hours. The sun is at a lower angle, and you have far less exposed skin. If you live in northern latitudes, you should try to get vitamin D in your diet.

Long enough to get a slight flush but not long enough to burn. You need a lot of skin exposed to get much benefit in a reasonable time.

Not more than 10 minutes when first starting out and encrese 5 minutes after the first week 5 minutes per week.

No clue because I'm already tan
