The intensity of the Sun is directly related to it's height in the sky.
Mid- Day is therefore the most dangerous time.
In Indiana, on the far far west of EDT zone, mid-day does not occur until around 1:50pm. You can figure mid-day locally by taking the halfway point between sunrise and sunset at your location. Should be about 1pm most places on DST, and around noon when on Standard time.
I try to avoid the sun from 12 noon -3:40pm in the spring-summer months. I never burn if I follow this plan, and I am very fair skinned.

Scotch tape only produces x-rays in a vaccum, which would be more harmful to you than the x-rays. However, the "dangerous" part is in the length of exposure to any type of ray, as well as the strength. Short answer- dont repeatedly pull off scotch tape while in a vaccum for long periods of time.
