Is it true that limiting time in the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. is a recommended sun protection measure?

Yes. Limiting outdoor time during peak midday sun hours (between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. or similar windows) is widely recommended in public health guidelines and supported by literature as an effective measure to reduce ultraviolet radiation exposure and skin damage.
