Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Clouds are able to retain only 40% of the solar radiation, you still can get a sunburn if you don't protect your skin.

Clouds could be dangerous because they can make a magnifying glass effect with the sun, that means, they could cause a bigger impact upon the skin.

That's why is recommended to use sunscreen lotion every day even if it's cloudy.
