This is something I don't understand about sunburn - If I'm exposed to 15 minutes straight of sunlight, I will burn, but in 2-5 minute chunks spread out over several hours, I can tolerate much more.
Is there an equation for this? Like a small coefficient with a high power? 0.1*Te^4 ?
Or am I wrong about how sunburn works?
This one just shows time as a straight factor, no exponent:
