No. It is infrared radiation that can be felt as heat.
The stratosphere layer is the layer above troposphere which absorbs Ultra-Violet rays from sun.

Any form of radiation can produce heat. Infra-red radiation is the most commonly recognized as heat, but the question has a much longer answer if you need to know the why.
Thermal radiation, in the infra red part of the spectrum. Microwave radiation also causes heat but that acts in a different way, by agitating the molecules in the water content of the food you are cooking.

RadiationNot really. Sunburn is not caused by heat at all, but by overexposure to ultra-violet (specifically UV-B) radiation. It causes damage directly to the DNA rather than heat damage to the skin.While the answer 'radiation' is technically correct as UV is a type of radiation, sunburn is not caused by heat transfer at all.
Infra-red radiation.

What is the source of the infrared light wave?
Electromagnetic
Sunlight or Solar Radiation is essentially photons, or packets of energy, emmited from the suns surface, which are able to travel through the vacuum of space at the speed of light. This comes to us in a range of wavelengths, including Visible light, Ultra violet and Infra red radiation.
Solar energy reaches the earth by two means, Electricity and Gravity.

The sun radiates ultra-violet and visible light.
