In the literature they do.
The Thirty Days of Night saga would have us believe it is not permanent though.
Vampires don't sparkle in the sunlight, they burn. Vampires can't resist their taste for blood. and they dont love humans they kill em
Because if they are awake or in the sunlight during the day, they will burn to death.
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.

Vampires burn in sunlight because they are in theory dead. And dead things are cold. :P
That's how you kill vampires in the Twilight Saga but traditional vampires are killed by the sunlight, rosaries, holy water, or garlic.
Well, in most of the stories it says they can't, but nobody knows if it is true because there is no true proof. It use to be that vampires were not much affected by sunlight at all. Count Dracula walked around in the sunlight quite freely. It wasn't until the movie Nosferatu came out in 1921 that sunlight became lethal to vampires. Only recently have vampires regain much of their resistance to sunlight.
No, vampires cannot get a tan because they are typically depicted as beings that are harmed by sunlight. Exposure to sunlight usually causes them to burn or disintegrate rather than tan. Consequently, their undead nature and aversion to sunlight prevent them from developing a tan like living humans do.
There is no vampires that burn from regular water but in some stories Holy Water can burn them.
Vampires are make believe creatures. Part of the fantasy is that if a vampire is caught by sunlight it will burn up. That is why they are creatures of the night that must be back in their coffins by sunrise.
Technically, yes, but it would be VERY hard for them, as the slightest exposure to sunlight will cause their skin to burn horribly. no vampires burn in the sunlight how will a vampire survive in school?? that's impossible and vampires can NOT overcome sunlight yes they can ,becouse I am a vampire myself and I can survive sunlight only I get really weak if I stand it it. And I'm not the only 1. So they can stand it only they get weak or get a mark a butterlfy on there face/nose.
In many vampire myths and lore, vampires burn or disintegrate when exposed to sunlight. This weakness to sunlight is a common trait in vampire mythology, leading to severe consequences for the vampire if they are caught in sunlight.
