Some of the sun's rays are ionizing and some not. The portion that is not ionizing is the visible spectrum, anything with longer wavelength (infrared), and a bit of the ultraviolet spectrum. The shorter wave lengths are all ionizing.

What is a ionising and non-ionising radiation?

heat or light from the sun, microwaves from an oven, X rays from an X-ray tube, and gamma rays from radioactive elements


Is albedo an example of electromegnetic radiation?

Albedo is ameasure of how much of the Sun's light is reflected by a planet. Light is an example of EM radiation. Radiation sickness is caused only by EM radiation of the ionising sort, which is UV, x-rays, gamma rays and the like, well above the spectrum of radio waves and light.


How do you get energy from the sun and what kind of energy?

Energy from the Sun arrives through space as heat and light (and other things) as a form of electromagnetic radiation. There are two types of this, ionising and non-ionising. Below about ultra violet wavelengths the energy is non-ionising, which means it does no harm except possibly heating things up too much. At shorter wavelengths the energy is 'ionising', which means it could produce radiation sickness by altering atoms in the body. That is why too much sunshine occasionally causes skin cancer.

What happens to the energy from the suns rays that reach earth?

As the sun's rays heat up the earth, the radiation hits the atmosphere. Then the radiation heads back to the sun.


What are the names of the suns rays?

Rays is the radiation. The name of rays is classified by the range of radiation wavelength and Radiation from the sun cover wide range or radiation. Sunlight at source had some little fraction of X-ray, Ultraviolet that would be absorbed by Ozone,Visible light, Infrared, Microwave down to the radio wave.

Does the sun emit gamma rays?

Yes, the sun emits gamma rays as part of its electromagnetic radiation spectrum.


Heat from the sun is?

Heat fro. The sun is emitted in waves or rays, known as UVA and UVB rays. These rays are two forms of microwaves from radiation.


What are the dangers of non-ionising radiation?

Non-ionizing radiation can still pose health risks, including skin burns, tissue damage, and potential long-term effects such as an increased risk of cancer. Prolonged exposure to certain types of non-ionizing radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or high-powered microwave radiation, can have harmful effects on the body. It is important to limit exposure to sources of non-ionizing radiation and take preventive measures, such as wearing protective clothing or using shielding devices.
