Can individuals with dark skin get sunburn?

Yes, individuals with dark skin can get sunburn, although it is less common than in individuals with lighter skin tones. Darker skin provides some natural protection against the sun's harmful UV rays, but it is still possible to get sunburned if exposed to intense sunlight for extended periods without protection. It is important for everyone, regardless of skin tone, to use sunscreen and take other sun protection measures to prevent sunburn and reduce the risk of skin damage and skin cancer.
