She likes to be in the sun. She likes to have a suntan.

She likes to be under the sun. She likes to have a suntan.

Which sentence should I use?

Thanks.

Thanks, Bhaisahab.

Is 'in' also the correct preposition in the following sentence? Or should it be 'under'?

The construction workers toiled in the scorching sun every day although they earn meagre salaries.

You could use "under" there, it makes it sound more dramatic.
