Just wanted to add on-
Vampires need enough space to hold them unless they are claustrophobic, in which case they need quite a bit.
Why are vampires afraid of the light?
Many myths are storng on this point, and if you ever have read the anne rice books, their skin will shrivel up if exposed to daylight. I believe this is because they are the creatures of the damned, and some think they are demonic, and symbolize the darkness. this is why they had hunts in the middle ages to rid the world of vampires and witches.
What kind of vampires can withstand the sunlight?
Becoming a vampire is actually a delicate process. It takes time and just the right conditions to become a well-formed vampire. As the vast majority of inductees are not carefully fostered they are mal-formed and sensitive to a broad number of conditions. One of the more common sensitivities of the mal-formed is a sensitivity to light: from merely glittering to instant vaporization.
Why can vampires survive moonlight but not sunlight?
The sun comes out in the day. The day was meant for humans,the living. Vampires are technachly half dead so they can't come out. They also still have a brain and can think for themselves, which makes them different from zombies. Another thing is, that humans could see them and could run for help or whatever, in the day. At night, when there's only moonlight, humans can't see as well so vampires can get their food. That's just how they were re-made.
Do vampires live in sunny or cloudy places?
Vampires are often depicted as avoiding direct sunlight, so they are more likely to live in places with cloudy weather or where they can be indoors during the day. However, different vampire lore may offer variations on this concept.
No, vampires are fictional creatures. They are not real and do not exist in space or on Earth.
Why does the vampires skin shine in the sun?
A vampires skin shines in the sun (I know you got this from Twilight.) because the vampire is a creature, and creatures have secret stuff that not alot of people know. Like, the vampire. He/She hides the fact that their a vampire, by not showing his/her fangs until their pray is going to get bitten. But back to the topic, it shines because, Like I said before, creatures have a secret, and the vampire is a creature.
** To allure their victims so that they can more easily hunt.
Can vampires survive on just animal blood not human?
Yes, they can but apparently it isn't as satisfing as human blood.
Bad News...Sorry guys, There is no scientific proof of the existence of Vampires or Vampyrs.They are creatures of myth and legend, sprung for human fears and misconceptions of the physiology of death in the middle ages, popularised by fiction, movies, television and some very active imaginations.
Yes, but for vampires the saying 'you are what you eat' has special significance to them. As they are un-dead enitites they assume many of the characteristics of that which they eat. The vampire Lestat spent a few decades feeding off of rats and became very much a flighty, furry creature. When he went back to humans he remarked 'that feels much better'.
Bad News? Not really.It is debatable-that some people think vampires are "myth." But other people could argue. So really, no need to come to the conclusion they aren't real. In many novels, movies, TV shows, ect, it's pretty obvious "dark creatures" such as the vampire want to hide and not reveal themselves, so really, people who think they don't exist have dull imaginations. (At least that's what I think.)Anyway...
As for the question, yes, vampires could live on animal blood such as the person above me used the example of Lestat, and also in the book Twilight, the Cullen family live on animal blood. It's just not that satisfying like human blood.
Why are vampires allergic to the sunlight?
The human body is capable of a few photosynthetic processes: the production of vitamin D, certain cancer controlling processes, the production of melania, ect. Sometime however something goes wrong with these processes and instead of making useful things, as they are suppose to, they can reduce organic oxygen and phosphorus to their most active forms which then attack the flesh directly. These are actual conditions known also in living people who are required to hide from direct sunlight. (See Wikipedia for such things as Xeroderma pigmentosum, Erythropoietic protoporphyria, ect.) (please note: we are NOT saying people with these aliments are vampires, only that vampires suffer from these ailments as well)
Becoming a vampire is a complex process (biologically) and things do sometimes go wrong in the creation of new vampires, one of the more frequent faults being the malajustment of these photo-processes making individuals photo-sensitive.
There is a range of sensitivity known. Count Dracula could walk about in full day-light (dressed in Victorian costume, which is pretty well full body coverage, save the face). The vampires in the twilight series merely glittered (which is just a little odd). In Innocent Blood they broiled. In 'Interview with a Vampire' they were burnned down to ash. Count Orlock was vapourized in a matter of seconds.
Why do vampires nly come out at night?
Vampires are traditionally believed to be creatures of darkness that are vulnerable to sunlight. This myth is likely attributed to their supernatural powers being heightened during the night when they can easily prowl on unsuspecting victims under the cover of darkness. It adds to their mysterious and sinister persona.
Can vampires survive in space?
I'm sure that catastrophic decompression would mangle a vampire's body as thoroughly as it would any other organic being. Air pressure is 14.7 lbs/square inch you know, that's a lot.
watch macross 7.
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.
Their neural pathways begin to form blood clots when their epidermis becomes exposed to ultra violate radiation. A blood clot in the brain is otherwise known as an aneurysm and while this will not kill a vampire, it is reported as being very uncomfortable.
A:
they will turn them to ashes.
The vampires are creatures of the night, and the sun is extremely dangerous to them, because as nocturnal monsters, the sunlight that makes vitamin D in normal people kills the hellish living dead creatures that live on the blood of living humans.
Do vampires sleep upside down?
No, vampires do not typically sleep upside down like bats. In most vampire lore, they sleep during the day in coffins or in dark, secluded places.
Most fiction now depicts vampires burning up in sunlight, either slowly or instantly, and sunlight is always lethal. However, this was started in 1922 in the German movie Nosferatu.
In the original folklore and stories of vampires, sunlight did not kill a vampire. In fact they did not really fear the sun. It was, at best, an inconvenience. Bats come out at night, and sleep during the day, does sunlight kill them?
Same as vampires, they were just nocturnal creatures, and came out at night. It was a fear thing as part of the myths. Arabian vampires came out during the day and slept at night, but see, deserts were more feared during the day, where the heat could kill you in a few hours.
Any fear in the folklore that vampires had of the sun, was because this was when they were most vulnerable to death. They were asleep. Try using a hammer and a stake to kill a vampire that is awake and moving, they move so fast, are so strong, can turn into mist, shapeshift, control your mind, it was impossible to do.
But when they were asleep, you could stake it in the heart, no fight. In fact the old folklore, the only way to kill a vampire was not as take, that only stopped it from moving, you had to take off its arms and legs, and burn the entire thing to actually kill it.
Bram Stokers Dracula, he did not die in sunlight either. He was weaker in sunlight, did not have access to all of his abilities, but he could move freely in sunlight and not die. The fear of the sun we see in fiction now is just a modern interpretation, a modern trope added to vampires. Original vampires had little to fear of the sun, it was the fear of sleeping, being able to be killed, during this time.
Why are vampires scared of sunlight?
In traditional vampire lore, sunlight is believed to be harmful to vampires because it represents purity and goodness, contrasting their dark and malevolent nature. Exposure to sunlight is said to weaken or even destroy them, emphasizing their supernatural vulnerability to forces of light and life.
If twilight vampires drank vampire blood what color would their eyes be?
Well, it depends on what you belive. If you belive in traditional vampires then they would be pale skinned but if it is more realistic vampires, they would look perfectly normal coloured on acount that they look completely humman, until ready to attack, then their skin would stay the same but ( once again it depends on what you belive ) there skill and apearance would change. Hope this helped
What happens when vampires stand in sunlight?
They Glitter!!! Their are varying degrees of reaction * Sunlight didn't bother Count Dracula all that much
* In twilight they merely glittered * In Vampire Chronicles they turned to ash * In Nosferatu he vapourized. ---- It has to do with ultraviolet rays and a vampire's melanocytes. UV rays are a form of ionizing radiation, which does heavy damage to the DNA structure of cells. Because ultra violet rays are at such a short wavelength (anywhere from 400 nanometres to 10 nanometres), they are especially dangerous for the cells that undergo melanogenesis. In a normal human, this damage causes your melanocytes to release more melanin and darken the pigment of the skin, ie. get a tan. In vampires, melanocytes are underfunctioning, and the photodamage to the melanocytes causes such a drastic shift in melanogenesis that cells' lysosomes actually initiate apoptosis. Dead cell matter at such a high concentration puts so much pressure on surrounding tissue that the blood vessels can become blocked, resulting in pressure buildup and the eventual failure of the cardiovascular system. Normally, the process takes somewhere from 10 to 15 minutes, and the vampire looks as though he or she died of heart failure. In extreme cases, the sudden blockage can result in internal bleeding and rhabdomyolysis from sudden internal shock on surrounding muscles. In this case, death can be instaneous of contact with sunlight.
---- Well, from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (And many other vampire books) they burn in the sunlight. From Stephenie Meyers Twilight, the vampires glitter.
Why do vampires and bats feed in the dark?
Well, for starters vampires and bats are both nocturnal creatures, meaning they sleep during the day and are active at night. Plus, bats eyesight isn't the sharpest in the day. There are some species of bats that do come out in the day and aren't as nocturnal as other species. As far as vampires go, some mythology claims that because vampires are evil, they cannot face the sun so they obviously must hunt during the night. Answer your question?
Edit- It is a common misconception that vampires even exists. Movies would lead you to believe that human like creatures bite necks and suck your blood really exist.
As for vampire bats. Yes, They typically sleep during the day and come out at night to feed. Bats that use echolocation apparently have terrible eyesight, but can find their way around just like you do in your house at night.
Now, vampire bats really do suck your blood. There has been countless accounts of people falling asleep in their lawn or on a camping trip etc. where they have left their finger tips or toes exposed and the bat uses its numbing saliva and piercing teeth to penetrate your skin without you ever knowing about it, unless someone else sees of course.
Vampires eat anything really but if they eat blood they don't nesasarly use their teeth to eat. they can use anything. Most Vampire junk is false.
Um...vampires can use anything such as teeth or anything they can find. They can drink human blood or animal blood. But human blood tastes sweeter and more satisfying, but animal blood can work just as well, whatever you chose...
Vampires don't "hunt", they take the blood they need from donors , usually close friends. It's not a big amount of blood, actually it's just a bit more than the amount u loose to a blood test. They need it every week.
Vampires track their prey using their amazing sense of smell and hearing. they then give themselves up to their senses and instincts and completely lose reason, theyre unstoppable. They sense their prey and go upwind of it so it cant smell the vampire. the vampire then charges at the prey, using their amazing speed or ambush it using their facinating agility. The vampire then leaps on the prey using their inpenatreble teeth,with no fangs, and cut through the flesh with ease , cutting through the artey and starts to drink the blood that the prey provides until bone dry.
Do vampires sleep in the dark?
Modern day vampires aren't usually seen as "sleeping in the dark", but the myth and conceptions of vampires change over who writes and studies the ledgends. Vampires are often feeding in the dark, and sleeping in their coffins by day. But what most people think is that this fact is based around Bram Stoker's, Dracula. This is wrong. There are elements of the vampire ledgend that Stoker studied carefully to make his story as believable as a biography, but what readers have carelessly abandoned. It is said that Count Dracula has a fear of sunlight, but this, as I said before, is not entirely true. In fact, many times in Dracula the fabled count is seen in the daylight. Many vampire movies/novels suggest that as soon as a vampire steps out into the daylight, they instantly perish. What doesactually happn is that Dracula's powers are heavily restircted, thus causing him the problem of feeding quickly and in cover. With this, it would be that Dracula would have to feed at night, but, it really depends on the story or movie you are reading/seeing at the time. Every vampire I've known slept with a night-light. They are really pretty sissies in some ways.
Since Time and space seem to have began with the big bang, we simply dont have any way of understanding anything outside of it . the best we can do is say that it appears that the universe is infinite in size and is expanding and accelerating. It looks like there is no end point of the universe.Its hard to accept . But it would be equally hard to accept if there was an end point. Its a great question but no one can really give an intuitive answer, sorry.
Gnats do not typically drink blood; they primarily feed on plant sap or decaying organic matter. There are some species of biting gnats that may feed on blood, but this behavior is not common among all gnats.
