Well, in most of the stories it says they can't, but nobody knows if it is true because there is no true proof.
It use to be that vampires were not much affected by sunlight at all. Count Dracula walked around in the sunlight quite freely. It wasn't until the movie Nosferatu came out in 1921 that sunlight became lethal to vampires. Only recently have vampires regain much of their resistance to sunlight.
Vampires are make believe creatures. Part of the fantasy is that if a vampire is caught by sunlight it will burn up. That is why they are creatures of the night that must be back in their coffins by sunrise.
They look the same that they do anywhere...
Because if they are awake or in the sunlight during the day, they will burn to death.
No, the Moon generates no light of its own. However, it reflects the light of the Sun, so when you see moonlight you are actually seeing reflected sunlight.(They apparently didn't think about that when they created the vampire legends. If sunlight kills vampires and moonlight is just reflected sunlight, why doesn't moonlight kill vampires, too?)
because it burns them and turns them to dust or in twilight they sparkle To add to the above answer, it depends what kinds of vampires we are talking about. The original folklore shows vampires had no need to avoid the sun, it did not burn them whatsoever, and in fact they were capable of walking in sunlight.
they don't go into the sunlight
Sunlight, garlic, crosses.
If your asking why vampires go to london, its because of the fog, not as bad of sunlight.

Vampires can melt or sparkle when exposed to sunlight.
Vampires Must Be aware of GARLIC, HUNTERS AND THEIR STAKES, AND SUNLIGHT.
Vampires are often depicted as being harmed by sunlight due to the belief that it weakens or kills them. This trait is based on folklore and fictional representations rather than scientific fact. In folklore, the sun is considered a source of purity and life, so it is believed that vampires, being creatures of darkness or the undead, are repelled by it.
they actually don't they enjoy the sunlight!
This depends what type of vampire you are talking about. Traditional vampires cannot go out in broad daylight or they will turn into a pile of ashes. The vampires from the Twilight saga can go out in broad daylight, just not in front of humans because the vampires sparkle in the sunlight. It use to be that vampires had no problem going about in the daytime. Varney the vampire, Count Dracula and Camilla all went out during the day. It wasn't till 1921 when the movie Nosferatu came out (Count Orlok) that vampires had a problem with sunlight.
there not. they shine in the sunlight but thats it.
