Because the high-energy processes going on emit electromagnetic waves across the whole spectrum, including visible light, radio waves, and gamma rays.

About half of the heat that the Sun's light brings is due to wavelengths longer than visible light: infrared radiation.

Like all stars, the sun is a great big ball of gas. The sun is mostly hydrogen. That hydrogen is the fuel for nuclear fusion. In this sun's fusion, pressure causes two hydrogen atoms to become one helium atom. In this reaction, part of the atoms are converted to energy. So then, the sun let's this energy go.

The sun's basically a giant ball of fire made if Hydrogen and Hellium. So, deep in the core of the sun, different chemicals and substances get fused together. That results in creating energy such as, Light, Heat and Energy. The sun's just nice enough to share it with us :)

Well really all it is , The Sun shines because it sends out energy in all directions as radiation. This radiation takes the form of light and heat. Almost the same amount of radiation leaves the Sun in all directions. It takes about eight minutes for the light from the Sun to travel to the Earth.

Because it has a temperature. Everything with a temperature emits radiation, including you, in the infrared.

Because it's a thermonuclear reaction which produces photons of various wave lengths including those within the visible spectrum which we call light.

The Reason why the Sun gives off light is because it has ongoing nuclear fusion which burns hydrogen into helium, this creates massive amounts of energy which is released as heat and light.
