Aurora borealis; the Northern Lights.
In polar regions, ions radiate energy that creates shimmering lights called auroras. These auroras are a natural phenomenon caused by interactions between charged particles from the sun and the Earth's atmosphere. The lights can appear in different colors such as green, red, or purple, depending on the type of particles involved.
These shimmering lights are known as the aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere and aurora australis in the southern hemisphere. They are created when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth's magnetosphere and atmosphere, causing them to emit light of different colors.

The warm sun seemed to radiate healing energy on the hikers as they rested by the peaceful lake.
On average, humans radiate about 100 watts of heat energy.
Electrons do radiate energy when they are accelerated, but in stable orbits around an atomic nucleus, they do not radiate energy due to a balance between the centripetal force keeping them in orbit and the electromagnetic force. This results in a stable orbit without energy loss.
The wide range of energy waves that radiate from the sun is called the electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum includes various types of radiation, such as visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared radiation, and more. Each type of wave has different wavelengths and energies, contributing to the sun's overall energy output and its effects on Earth.
Heat and light energy are called radiant energy because they travel in the form of electromagnetic waves that radiate outwards from a source. This form of energy can travel through empty space and does not require a medium to propagate, making it radiant.
The definition of 'radiate' is to emit energy in the form of waves or rays. More specifically, 'radiate' also refers to energy being released in heat, gas or light form. Synonyms of the word include 'beam' and 'emit'.
Objects that can radiate energy include stars, light bulbs, heated coils, and the Earth's surface. The type of radiation (such as heat, light, or electromagnetic waves) emitted by an object depends on its temperature and composition.
The amount of energy given off by excited electrons when they radiate energy is equal to the difference in energy level between the initial and final states. This emitted energy is typically in the form of photons.
