Visible light and radio waves, with infrared (heat) and ultraviolet (tanning/burning rays) on either end of the light spectrum. Other types of EM (electromagnetic) radiation can reach Earth's surface if they have enough energy, but mostly our atmosphere is opaque to them.
One type of "ray," the "cosmic ray," is actually a highly energetic particle.
What else can I help you with?
How long does it take for the sun's rays to reach the earth pepandicularly?
It takes approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds for the sun's rays to reach the Earth perpendicularly.
Shorter electromagnetic waves which reach the earth include gamma rays x rays and ultraviolet rays?
true
Shorter electromagnetic waves which reach the earth include gama rays x-rays and ultraviolet rays?
true
Shorter electromagnetic waves which reach the earth include gamma rays x-rays and ultraviolet rays.?
true
Do any gamma rays at all make it to the surface of Earth?
Almost all gamma rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, or deflected by the magnetosphere, but some do manage to get through. Those that reach the surface of the Earth are mostly secondary comic rays, which are produced when gamma rays or primary cosmic rays hit the top of the atmosphere.
What makes climate?
One part of the earth is facing directly at one side of the earth the rays from the sun and that is what makes summer and when the rays are pointing further from the sun is winter. because the rays are harder to reach the earth.
What is ozone UV rays to reach the earth?
Ozone layer is situated in the stratosphere. It does not allow UV rays to enter.

What makes montanas climate?
One part of the earth is facing directly at one side of the earth the rays from the sun and that is what makes summer and when the rays are pointing further from the sun is winter. because the rays are harder to reach the earth.
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.
How far do the sun's rays travel to hit the Earth?
The average distance from the sun to the Earth is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). The sun's rays travel this distance through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth and provide light and heat.
When did the infrared rays that reach the earth leave the sun?
About 8 minutes ago.
