Sunbathing is a popular activity that involves lying in the sun to GET a TAN. It is often done at the beach or in a backyard. The term 'sunbathes' can be broken down into three words: BASKS (5 letters), TANS (4 letters), and getsatan (8 letters). Basking means to lie in the sun, usually for pleasure or relaxation. Tanning is the process of darkening the skin due to exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. Getsatan is a combination of the words 'GET' and 'TAN, ' which means to acquire a TAN. Therefore, sunbathes can be defined as lying in the sun to GET a TAN.
