Expose Your Skin Around Midday. Midday, especially during summer, is the best time to get sunlight. At noon, the sun is at its highest point, and its UVB rays are most intense. That means you need less time in the sun to make sufficient vitamin D (5).

Dear Lybrateuser, - The right time for sun exposure is between 9 am to 1to 2 pm for 15-30 min - it has to be on exposed skin & not with clothing as the rays have to be absorbed by the skin to make vit d.
