Wein's Displacement Law explains the difference between long and shortwave radiation. Shortwave radiation has shorter, more high energy wavelengths (stronger with less distance to travel) while longwave radiation travels farther, but has less energy. Earth's radiation is 20 times longer than the maximum solar radiation, so it is referred to as longwave, while solar energy is referred to as shortwave radiation.

∙ 10y agoYes, the Sun generates electromagnetic radiation in every frequency band from the longest radio waves (lowest frequencies) all the way through radio, UHF, SHF, IR, light, UV, and all the way up to gamma radiation.
they both come from the sun
Radiation can come from sources like nuclear power plants, X-ray machines, and radioactive materials. It can also come from natural sources like radon gas and cosmic rays.
Helium and hydrogen
The colors in a rainbow come from the dispersion of sunlight by water droplets in the atmosphere. When sunlight enters a raindrop, it gets reflected internally and refracted, separating the light into its different colors creating a spectrum of colors. This phenomenon is known as dispersion.
The sun emits three main types of radiation: visible light, ultraviolet (UV) light, and infrared (heat) radiation. Visible light enables us to see, UV light can cause sunburns and skin damage, while infrared radiation warms the Earth.
Long wave radiation in the Earth's energy budget primarily comes from the Earth's surface. The surface absorbs shortwave radiation from the sun and then emits longwave radiation back into the atmosphere. This longwave radiation plays a crucial role in maintaining the Earth's energy balance.
Electromagnetic waves found in sunlight are light waves, ultraviolet waves and cosmic waves.
Comets emit primarily visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet radiation. These emissions come from the heating and vaporization of their surface ices as they get closer to the sun.
Radiation will always remain a particle so long as it doesn't come in contact with MOST direct sunlight, or water. In that case, water becomes irradiated and the Particle becomes part of the water..answer 2 electromagnetic radiation - radio waves do not involve particles. Sound waves, heat, and UV light etc also are radiation. 'Radiation' is also used in biology, to describe the spread .
EM radiation higher in frequency than violet visible light but lower in frequency than soft x-rays.
it comes from sunlight
THE SUN
They both come from the sun.

when an astronaut go into outer space, they must be careful of the sun's radiation. fun fact: astronauts must be careful of the sun's radiation because when they are on earth, the atmosphere blocks out the majority of the sun's radiation. so, when they leave the earth's atmosphere, they are no longer as protected from the sun's harmful rays. cool, huh?:D
xray radiation and ultraviolet radiation
