SPF

SPF is a short form for "Sun Protection Factor". SPF is represented by a number that measures how long skin covered with a certain sunscreen product will be protected. The SPF number is compared to how long (on average) it would take uncovered skin to burn.

Therefore, SPF is a measurement of the protection offered and not of the length of sun exposure time. However, many sunscreens with SPF will specify the amount of time you can stay in the sun without burning, based on the average skin tone. For instance, SPF 15 means it will take fifteen times longer to burn after the application on sunscreen.
