Photon's carry electric radiation energy in 'empty space'. Photon's carry the sun's energy to earth. Photon's are related to Planck's Constant h= zQ2, where Q is the photon charge, Q= 4/3 atto Coulomb = 8 1/3 electrons = (13U,1d) in Quark notation.

The photon is related to the

Fine Structure Constant Alpha= e2z/2h = e2/2Q2=7.2E-3

Since photons are particles of light and we see by receiving and interpreting light, without photons we couldn't see.

Why are the photons that emerge from the Sun's surface visible-light photons and infrared-light photons rather than gamma-ray photons?

Photons do not come in different types like infared-photons etc. they are just the wavelength that the photons are at and nuclear fusion just happens to emit photons at a particular wavelength
