Water is not very effective at blocking out UV rays from the sun, especially when the sunlight is directly overhead. While submerged, the water may reduce some UV exposure, but it doesn't completely block it. Additionally, UV rays can penetrate several feet underwater, increasing the risk of sunburn.

Why doesn't a rocks density change when submerged under water?
A rock's density remains the same when submerged under water because its mass and volume do not change in the water. Density is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume, and since both the mass and volume of the rock remain constant underwater, its density also stays the same.
Can you get sunburnt while in water?
Yes, you can still get sunburned while in water because UV rays from the sun can penetrate through the water and reach your skin, causing sunburn. It is important to wear sunscreen even when in water to protect your skin.
When an object is said to be immersed in water does this mean it is partially submerged or completely submerged?
When an object is immersed in water, it means it is completely surrounded or covered by the water.
Why do objects appear to be bent when partially submerged under water?
When light passes from water to air, it changes speed and direction due to the difference in refractive index. This causes the light rays to bend, resulting in what is known as refraction. When we view objects submerged in water from above, the light reflecting off them undergoes refraction, making the objects appear bent at the surface of the water.
Can batteries electrocute you in water?
Yes, batteries can electrocute you in water because they can still conduct electricity when submerged. It is important to be cautious and avoid contact with batteries in water to prevent the risk of electrocution.
The fact that you can get sunburned while submerged in water is evidence that water?

Is it redundant to write submerged under water when submerged means to descend under the water's surface?
It would only be redundant if the context had already made it unambiguous that it was water. It is possible to be submerged under any liquid: for example french fries are cooked submerged under hot oil (they can't be cooked submerged under hot water).Yes, "submerged underwater" is redundant. Submerged under anything is redundant since the prefix "sub-" means "under." In most cases, the use of "submerged" alone is sufficient. In case there is some question about the substance something is submerged in (not necessarily liquid, not necessarily tangible), you might occasionally have use for "submerged in water."

Is it safe to go under water with a water resistant product?
Water resistant is not the same thing as water proof. A water resistant object can get wet and not be damaged, but it should not actually be submerged entirely. It still has some degree of vulnerability to water.
How long do they breath under water?
They don't. When submerged, dolphins hold their breath.
What is the submerged lands act of?

What is submerged soil?
