The radiation emitted by the Sun, is a mixture of electromagnetic waves ranging from infrared (IR) to ultraviolet rays (UV). It of course includes visible light, which is in between IR and UV in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The solar wind can also be considered to be radiation from the sun as it is mostly high velocity free protons and electrons.
The sun also emits neutrino radiation, but this barely interacts with matter and is hard to detect.

∙ 13y agoThe type of radiation that sun spots emit is cosmic radiation. It is a combination of various types of radiation photons of all different energy scales from low to high energy. High energy protons electrons, anti-protons and muons. UV (Ultraviolet) radiation It is the high energy and the UV radiation that has potential for damage to the human body and health related consequences

∙ 6y agoThe sun is a continuous stream of fusion reactions releasing all kinds of energy and nuclear particles including:
- Heat energy
- light energy in all color ranges including ultraviolet, and infrared.
- Electromagnetic energy in a wide range of frequencies between the viible light spectrum
- all kinds of atomic and subatomic particles that occur as a result of nuclear fusion and interactions between multiple fusion reactions.

What form does suns energy have when it reaches earth?
The Sun's energy is given out mainly as "electromagnetic radiation". Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the main form the Sun's energy has when it reaches Earth, particularly the Earth's surface.
What is the term given to the sun's energy that reaches the earth?
Insolation, or solar radiation.
Energy from the sun travel to earth's surface by what?
Energy from the sun travels to the earth's surface is brought here by electromagnetic radiation. Once the radiation reaches the planet, most of it is converted to heat.
What does solar energy reach earth by?
Solar energy reaches the earth by two means, Electricity and Gravity.
How does the heat from the sun reach your bodies?
The Sun's energy reaches Earth in the form of "electromagnetic radiation". Most of the heat is carried by the visible light, but there are other parts of the "spectrum" of radiation involved such as the infra-red. Much of the heat reaches you after being absorbed by the Earth in various ways and given out again. This heat contains a lot more infra-red than direct sunlight.
What terms describe a type of radiation that reaches the Earth from the Sun?
Electromagnetic waves, mainly visible light.
How does energy that reaches the earth from the sun travel?
It is done by radiation.
Most of the sun's energy reaches earth as?
Electromagnetic radiation.
What is the main type of electromagnet radiation that makes up the solar radiation that reaches earth?
Well techinichally it is just a radiation that comes from the sun and the readiation is a electromagnetic field

What is the term for solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface?
The solar radiation that reaches the earths surface from the sun is called INSOLATION

How does the heat of the sun reach in earth?
The heat of the sun reaches the earth by radiation, E = hf =hc/w.
What is the term given to the sun's energy that reaches the earth?
Insolation, or solar radiation.
What reaction occurs when ultraviolet radiation from the sun reaches the earth's atmosphere?
When UV reaches earth, it interacts with ozone. It both creates and depletes ozone.
Energy from the sun travel to earth's surface by what?
Energy from the sun travels to the earth's surface is brought here by electromagnetic radiation. Once the radiation reaches the planet, most of it is converted to heat.
