Of all the "sunlight" that travels through space, directed toward the Earth, only the infrared radiation is detected as heat on Earth.
The infrared radiation component of sunlight is responsible for creating heat when it comes into contact with an object. This radiation is absorbed by the object, causing its molecules to vibrate and generate heat.
Solar power primarily comes from sunlight, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation that includes both heat and light. Solar panels can convert this sunlight into electricity by absorbing the light component of the radiation and converting it into electrical energy.
Infrared radiation is commonly felt as heat. This type of radiation is responsible for the warmth felt from sunlight, fire, or heated objects.
Indirect sunlight does not directly cause heat, as it does not produce the same amount of radiant energy as direct sunlight. However, indirect sunlight can still contribute to heating an area by warming surfaces and objects that absorb and then re-emit the heat.
Indirect sunlight produces less heat compared to direct sunlight because it is diffused and scattered before reaching the surface. Direct sunlight carries more heat energy as it is more concentrated, whereas indirect sunlight spreads the heat over a larger area, resulting in less intense warmth.

Ultraviolet rays of sunlight helps in drying of clothes.

No, Sunlight is heat.

If your soup is not warming fast enough, would you say "I have to turn up the sunlight on that burner"? Would you say that heat is responsible for the processes in plants that are controlled by chlorophyll? Would you say that your pipes would freeze if your home sunlight system is out of order, or that heat is the visible part of the EMR spectrum? There is some overlap in meanings, but the words do not mean the same thing, and it's hard to find a context in when they do.
