* They are all forms of electromagnetic radiation. This means they travel as waves of energy through space at the speed of light.
* They are all emitted by the sun. The sun's energy is generated through nuclear fusion, which produces these forms of radiation.
* They all carry energy. This energy can be transferred to objects or matter they interact with.
* They all travel in a straight line in a vacuum. This is a characteristic of all electromagnetic radiation.
However, they are also different in their wavelengths and how they interact with matter.
