X-rays and gamma rays are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that are ionizing, meaning they have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules.UV light can also be ionizing, but to a lesser extent.
Visible light and infrared light are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye.

You can't see the different colors that are shown
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 does an electromagnetic spectrum consist of
radio waves

Electromagnetic energy comes in two basic forms: 1. Ionising 2. Non-ionising Ionising radiation has the capacity for its photons to knock components off atoms and change their chemical constitution. This is a feature of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength, from the short-wavelength end of the visible spectrum downwards. Non-ionising EM radiation has a longer wavelength, that is most of the visible spectrum, infra-red, microwaves and radio waves. It has insufficient energy in the photons to modify atoms. This type can only damage living tissues if it is too intense, and the mechanism of the damage is by a temperature rise only.

No, it is not dangerous. It is just the colors that are absorbed by the light. Some parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are dangerous, however. To learn more in depth and to get more of an explanation on the visible spectrum and the electromagnetic spectrum, visit wikipedia.
No reason. Light is an electromagnetic wave so you can call any part of the spectrum either.
Both are the parts of electromagnetic spectrum.

Humans can see a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum known as visible light, which ranges from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers in wavelength. This spectrum includes colors from violet to red. However, we cannot see other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as ultraviolet or infrared radiation, which are outside the visible range.
