do I get vitamin D with afternoon sun?
. is it true that you need vitamin D to help you absorb calcium?
and is there any other things that I could get vitamin D?

Yes, you can get vitamin D from the sun, but it's a catch 22 as you can also get skin cancer from too much exposure. 10-20 minutes a day is fine, depending on where you live.
