A simple example of radiation is to turn on a light-bulb, and bring your hand close to it. The closer your hand gets, you begin to feel the heat from the light bulb. This is radiated heat energy. As soon as you turn on the light-bulb, even before you bring your hand close to it, you SEE it, because of the electromagnetic radiation in the VISIBLE range that leaves it.
Another example of radiation can be a lava lamp. Radiation is the whole reason how a lava lamp works.
Also there is ultraviolet, visible, infrared, gamma, microwave, X, alpha, beta, etc.

How does does solar radiation and infrared radiation interact with earth?
Solar radiation from the sun interacts with the Earth's atmosphere, warming the surface. Some of this energy is radiated back into space as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this infrared radiation, causing a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.
What are some medical uses of radiation?
to detect radiation, a device such as Geiger- Muller tube is used
