not unless it is from the sun no, the only reason that you get a tan is because melanin ( a chemical in a type of cell called a melanocyte in your skin) reacts when your skin comes into contact with UV light. Melanin is brown in colour hence why you go brown when you have been in the sun.

No, you can get a tan in winter, at tanning salons, you could get a spray tan, or you could just use bronzer :p

Can you get a suntan at 20 degrees celsius?

It really depends on how much rays of sun there is. If the sun is being covered up then you cannot get tan but if the sun is out then you can! It is not about how hot it is it is about whether the sun is shining or not.

Can you tan using hot water?

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.
