Why should vampires avoid the sun?

because it burns them and turns them to dust or in twilight they sparkle To add to the above answer, it depends what kinds of vampires we are talking about. The original folklore shows vampires had no need to avoid the sun, it did not burn them whatsoever, and in fact they were capable of walking in sunlight.

Can vampires be in the sun without dying?

Yes. i was reading twilight and edward said that the sun does not burn them. (them being vampires)ANSWEROF COURSE!! most people say its bullcrap but vampires can go in the sun.. since vampires arnt real there are many theorys of that. some people say no they will burn and desinigrate and some people say they sparkle. no one knows for sure...It is a huge misconception that vampires cannot go out into the sun, or are harmed in any way by the sun. In fact, it is the biggest and most annoying misconception about vampires. In the original vampire legends, vampires can go out into the sun normally. They do not burn, blister or get boils on their skin, they do not turn to dust or ash or stone, they do not burst into flames or smolder, the sun does not hurt their eyes or blind them or give them sunburns or headaches, they do not sparkle, and they do not have to wear any protective amulets or charms. Not only does the sun not harm them in any way, it also does absolutely nothing to indicate that they are vampires either. All the sun really does is just make them appear more human. That is why if you read Dracula or any other vampire literature from the 19th century and prior, you will notice that all the vampires can be out in the daytime normally. That is how the original myths and classic vampire literature is. For example Dracula appears several times during the daytime, and the only thing the daylight hours did was weaken his supernatural powers (he could not shapeshift freely like he could at night), but he was still stronger than mortals, and had absolutely no bad effects from the sun. The idea of the sun doing vampires harm only came about in 1922, with the film Nosferatu. The director of the film did not want to risk getting sued by Stoker's family, so he changed some things about the Dracula story and one of those things happened to be that he decided to make the count die in the first rays of sunlight. After that movie, the notion spread through the media, through subsequent books, television shows and movies in the 20th century, and therefore almost everybody now thinks it to be natural truth for vampires to be affected by sunlight, or mistakenly believe that it has always been a part of vampire myths and legends, when it in fact has not. That is the only, only reason that it is so deeply ingrained in almost everyone's minds these days that vampires are affected in any way by the sun or daylight. It just goes to show the power of the media and how fast things can spread and be inculcated into the mentality of the population. So it's completely ridiculous that so many are bothered about vampires being able to be out in the daylight (when in fact it is the original legends!) and say things like "normal vampires die in the sun" or "real vampires burn in the sun". In truth, the concept of them being harmed by the sun is just like the notion of them sparkling in the sun. They are both recent media inventions, and they both have absolutely no basis in traditional vampire lore and classic vampire literature. No one seems to realize that the affected or harmed-by-the-sun concepts are entirely merely 20th century media inventions, and nothing more.~Depends on what 'type' of vampire. Vampires from older books (like books writen a few centeries ago) usually burn in sunlight. Modern day vampires don't. The concept of vampires is interperited differently by everyone.
