No, you should not keep avocados in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Avocados are sensitive to heat and sunlight, and excessive exposure to sunlight can cause them to ripen too quickly and become overripe or even spoiled. To properly store avocados, it's best to keep them in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or a kitchen counter away from direct sunlight. If you want to ripen avocados faster, you can place them in a paper bag with a banana or apple, which will release ethylene gas and speed up the ripening process. Once they are ripe, you can transfer them to the refrigerator to extend their shelf life for a few more days.
