Electromagnetic radiation is a continuous spectrum of wavelengths from thousands of kilometres to wavelengths the size of fractions of an atom.
They are all the same kind of radiation - the differences are only the wavelengths.
They range from the longest - radio waves, then microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultra violet light, X-rays and gamma rays.
The sun emits all of these apart from gamma rays.

In short, every kind.

What is a Electromagnetic spectrum?
The combination of different colours due to the dispersion of sun light is called spectrum. This type of spectrum is called continues or line spectrum.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum contains the majority of the suns rays?
IR, visible, UV. Our sun's radiation peaks in the yellow portion of the spectrum.
What does the sun have to do with the electromagnetic spectrum?
Hydrogen nuclei undergo fusion within the Sun and this reaction releases energy as 0.3% of the hydrogen's mass is converted into energy. This energy spans several bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, most of it is in the UV-Vis portion. For more information look up blackbody radiation.
Most sunlight consists of what parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
The visible spectrum (the radiation we can see as light). This is most likely why organisms evolved to be able to see visible light over other types of electromagnetic radiation - the sun emits this more than the other frequencies, so it was easier for life to evolve seeing this spectrum.
How does energy from the sun travel to the earth?
Most of the energy generated by the Sun travels to Earth as Electromagnetic Radiation. A very tiny amount of energy of the Sun is given off as particles, mostly electrons and protons, flying off into space.Electromagnetic energy is, of course, light. The light energy from the Sun includes the visible spectrum we can see and much more in the infrared part of the spectrum that we can not see and a little in the ultraviolet as well. It all travels at the speed of light from the Sun outwards and a tiny fraction of the Sun's energy strikes the Earth and is absorbed. As a result, the electromagnetic energy is converted to thermal (heat) energy and keeps Earth warm.
What spectrum does the sun emit?
The Sun emits radiation across almost the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
Why wouldn't you plot soundwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic spctrum has nothing to do with sound; it's about the sun's energy.
What is ultrviolet?
Ultraviolet is a part of electromagnetic spectrum. It is a radiation released from the sun.
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum do you feel as heat from the sun?
infrared waves
Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is our sun's energy the highest in concentration?
umm yess
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the most energy?
The waves with higher frequencies have more energy and the gamma rays have the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum
What is a Electromagnetic spectrum?

What three parts of the electromagnetic spectrum contains the majority of the sun's rays?
yellow
What is a good sentence with the words electromagnetic spectrum in it?
The electromagnetic spectrum spans from the lowly radio signals (1x104 Hz) that we use for terrestrial broadcasting to gamma rays (1x1021 Hz) from the sun! ===================
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum do you feel as heat from the sun?
That part called infra-red.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum contains the majority of the suns rays?
IR, visible, UV. Our sun's radiation peaks in the yellow portion of the spectrum.
Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is our sun's energy the highest concetration?
Right around the visible light band.
