The infrared spectrum stretches from about 700 nm to about 1 mm wavelength. In terms of the number of frequency doubles (think octave), this range is about 8.9 times the breadth of the visible light spectrum.

What type of radiation is responsible for heating effect in sunlight?

The Sun emits infrared radiation, as well as a broad spectrum of other rays of electromagnetic radiation. It is the infrared band, that just beyond (and just longer in wavelength) what we see as the color red, which reacts with matter to increase its temperature. Infrared from sunlight heats the Earth's surface and atmosphere.
