Some of the sun's rays are ionizing and some not. The portion that is not ionizing is the visible spectrum, anything with longer wavelength (infrared), and a bit of the ultraviolet spectrum. The shorter wave lengths are all ionizing.

How do the sun rays protect us from cosmic radiation?
Sun rays do not protect us. the ozone layer protects us.
How does heat from the sun reach you?
Heat from the sun reaches you from radiation.
Does the ozone layer protect us from infrared radiation?
No, just the far infrared, and some microwaves.
How does the ozone filter out harmful radiation from the sun?
The ozone can filter harmful radiations. These are the UV rays of the sun.
Which electromagnetic radiation is used in sun beds?
UV (ultra violet) rays! :)
What is a ionising and non-ionising radiation?
heat or light from the sun, microwaves from an oven, X rays from an X-ray tube, and gamma rays from radioactive elements
Is albedo an example of electromegnetic radiation?
Albedo is ameasure of how much of the Sun's light is reflected by a planet. Light is an example of EM radiation. Radiation sickness is caused only by EM radiation of the ionising sort, which is UV, x-rays, gamma rays and the like, well above the spectrum of radio waves and light.
How do you get energy from the sun and what kind of energy?
Energy from the Sun arrives through space as heat and light (and other things) as a form of electromagnetic radiation. There are two types of this, ionising and non-ionising. Below about ultra violet wavelengths the energy is non-ionising, which means it does no harm except possibly heating things up too much. At shorter wavelengths the energy is 'ionising', which means it could produce radiation sickness by altering atoms in the body. That is why too much sunshine occasionally causes skin cancer.
Radiation can come from the sun and where else?
Radiation can come in two forms: particles and waves. Radiation can come from the sun, gamma rays, UV rays, radio waves, and X-rays.
What is are sun rays called in the summer?
At any time of the year they are 'RADIATION'.
What type of radiation do you get from sun?
x rays?
What happens to the energy from the suns rays that reach earth?
As the sun's rays heat up the earth, the radiation hits the atmosphere. Then the radiation heads back to the sun.
What are the radiation seen in the rays of the sun?
your mum your mum
The main heating rays of the sun?
Infared radiation.
The Sun's rays are transmitted to the Earth by mean of?
radiation
Two types of energy that exsits on the electromagnetic spectrum?
the waves travelling with velocity of light and consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of their propagation are called electromagnetic waves.such waves with different ranges of frequency constitute an electromagnetic spectrum.these electromagnetic waves are classified in to different types depending on their wavelenth they areradio wavesmicro wavesinfrared lightvisible lightultraviolet lightx raysgamma rays
What are the names of the suns rays?
Rays is the radiation. The name of rays is classified by the range of radiation wavelength and Radiation from the sun cover wide range or radiation. Sunlight at source had some little fraction of X-ray, Ultraviolet that would be absorbed by Ozone,Visible light, Infrared, Microwave down to the radio wave.
