photon
Electromagnetic waves carry energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This energy is a combination of electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space at the speed of light. The energy carried by electromagnetic waves depends on their frequency and intensity.
A photon is a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass that carries a quantum of energy. It is the fundamental unit of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Visible light is the energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation that is most often associated with a wavelength that is visible to the human eye.
Electromagnetic radiation is also known as electromagnetic waves. That are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles. Electromagnetic energy is a term used to describe all the different kinds of energies.
The Earth mainly receives energy Radiated by the Sun.

photon
The energy of an electromagnetic wave is carried by its electric and magnetic fields, and is proportional to its frequency. This energy is quantized into discrete packets called photons.
A photon is formed when an electron transitions to a lower energy level within an atom or molecule, releasing energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This energy is carried by the photon as a discrete particle-like bundle of electromagnetic radiation.
Electromagnetic waves or radiation
A photon is a bundle of energy with a zero charge. Photons are elementary particles that make up light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
It's what we call a "photon". Its energy is the product of its frequency and Planck's Konstant. No smaller bundle of energy can exist at that frequency.
Quantums of energy, or quanta.
A small discrete unit of energy is called a quantum of energy. The definition of quantum is a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation that it represents.
The phrase "energy is quantified" means that energy comes only in certain electromagnetic wavelengths. In addition to being continuous, energy can also be discrete, or come in quanta, or "packets" of electromagnetic radiation.
A bundle of light energy is generally referred to as a photon. Photons are elementary particles that make up light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. They have properties of both particles and waves.
Discrete packages of light energy are called photons. Photons are also the quanta of all other electromagnetic radiation, not just light.
