Yes - as with all other wavelengths on the em spectrum - however, not to a high intensity. You'd be surprised the moon is actually brighter than the sun when viewed in 'gamma ray vision'.

How does the sun give off heat?

The warmth you feel come from the Infrared rays.


Is the suns rays gamma rays?

No, the Sun mostly emits visible light rays. A small amount of gamma rays might be emitted, but they would be insignificant. Inside the Sun, gamma rays are produced but they never escape in that form. The super-heated gases around the sun in the chromosphere emit mostly higher energy xrays, UV rays but also some gamma rays. Natural gamma rays sources are thought to be the most energetic events in the Universe. Although Supernovae seem to be the source of some, others are still somewhat mysterious.


What does the sun give off that cause damage to your skin?

The Sun gives off all spectrums of light, from microwaves to gamma rays, the ozone layer only lets through the infrared through UV spectrums. And it's the UV rays that cause skin damage. Too much UV rays, and you'll be burned to a crisp (not literally, but as a figure of speech)

Which form of radition form the sun has the shortest?

When it comes to radiation from the sun, the type that has the shortest wave length is known gamma rays. A type of wave that is longer than gamma rays is radio rays, which go for a considerable distance.


Where does the sun get its gamma rays from?

The sun is essentially a massive atomic bomb which is taking billions of years to explode. The gamma rays are emitted through a very complex process that converts hydrogen into helium.
