Photons are elementary particles that make up electromagnetic radiation such as light. They have properties of both particles and waves, and carry energy proportional to their frequency. They play a critical role in various phenomena, including the photoelectric effect and the transmission of information in optical fibers.

Why are the photons that emerge from the Sun's surface visible-light photons and infrared-light photons rather than gamma-ray photons?

Photons do not come in different types like infared-photons etc. they are just the wavelength that the photons are at and nuclear fusion just happens to emit photons at a particular wavelength
