Hello everyone,
Why are you playing in the sun? When children are playing on the ground, Can I ask this question to children?
Is it correct or should use another sentence?
Thank you.

Thank you.

There is not necessarily a relationship in your example between "in the sun" and "on the ground". For a more general question, you might ask "Why are you playing outside?".

I mean some are playing in the day time heat, so can I ask, why are you playing in the sun? I don't know how to express my doubts or I don't get the words to express my doubts.
Thank you.

Yes, you can ask "Why are you playing in the sun?"
