No. Heat from the sun is not what causes tan it is the ultraviolet rays similar to the rays that cause skin cancer. The reason heat is asoociated with them is that usually when the sun is bright enough that the UV rays are causing a tan infrared rays are also causing you to feel hot. This is why a bright sun on a cool day is very dangerous. The UV rays are still reaching the skin but as they are undetectable and there is no heat warning the skin that the sun is bright you are more likely to allow yourself to stay in the sun too long and burn.
No.
