Ultraviolet Radiation,Visible Light,Infared Radiation
There are three types of radiation:
This is thermal radiation of the Sun.
By traveling through space as electromagnetic radiation. The sun is actually 93 million miles away. And since light travels at 186,000 miles per second, by the time the heat (infrared radiation), ultraviolet radiation, visible light, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation strike your skin, they have traveled almost eight and a half minutes across empty space.
In addition to the products of radioactive decay, the sun also emits the fullspectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including but not limited to microwaves,fuchsia light, and X-rays.
The sun is the best example of radiation because, of the three processes of heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation), the sun only radiates heat energy.Conduction occurs through matter, and we are separated from the sun by an absence of matter (vacuum).Convection is the movement of a fluid, carrying heat. Although there is a solar wind, it is very very tenuous - a vacuum.You can step outside and feel the sun's radiation (infrared) on your skin, see the light with your eyes.
Solar energy reaches the earth by two means, Electricity and Gravity.
cause they different
Radiation can come in two forms: particles and waves. Radiation can come from the sun, gamma rays, UV rays, radio waves, and X-rays.
they are all forms of radiation
The SUN
Radiation, conduction and convection
The Sun is a source of all forms of electromagnetic radiation from gamma rays to radio waves. However, the greatest amount of radiation that the Sun produces is visible light.

radiant energy
Among other things, the Sun produces light, heat, and cosmic radiation.
Yes some of it does.
