Are some people immune to sun damage? i know that i burn extremely easily if i am out in the sun for more than 45 minutes. is it possible for someone darker than me to be out in the sun with no protection the same amount of time and not receive any damag

No : No one is immune from the damaging effects of the sun. Some people with dark skin, hair and eyes (fitzpatrick skin type 4) are less effected by the damaging effects of the sun. Always wear sunblock with spf45+ when out in the sun, even in the winter and, if female, consider makeup with skin block.
