One source of electromagnetic radiation is our sun. The reason why Gamma Rays do not hit the earth, is because the earth is protected by an MAGNETIC field. The Earth's core is Iron, and Iron is magnetic, so this field sheilds us from the harmful radiation, and is one of the reasons why life exists on the earth today. Light is also radiation, so it's important to note that not all radiation is actually bad for living Organisms. Gamma rays are sometimes used in Medical treatment to kill of cancer cells, (Chemotherapy.)Also another source of Gamma Rays are unstable elements of the periodic table that give off Electromagnetic Radiation.... such as Uranium,Plutonium and so on.
