Hi Dory,
Most succulents don't like a lot of direct sunlight. Whenever you buy a plant there should be a plastic stick on it that tells you what kind of light and water it needs. Check those sticks before you buy or look them up online. Here's an article that will give you some growing information. Wishing you the best.

All depends where you live. I am in Zone 9 in Southern California and have extremely low humidity. 105°Here today. If they were in the sun, they would fry. Mine stay in dappled shade from a fig tree on the north side of my house and live there year round. The further north or higher elevation, they can take more sun.
