* Visible light: This is the light we see with our eyes, making up a small portion of the Sun's total energy output.
* Infrared radiation: This is heat radiation, felt as warmth on our skin.
* Ultraviolet radiation: This is invisible to the human eye, and can be harmful to living organisms.
In addition to these, the Sun also emits:
* X-rays: These are high-energy radiation, primarily emitted during solar flares.
* Gamma rays: The most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation, also emitted during solar flares.
* Radio waves: A low-frequency type of radiation, which can be detected by radio telescopes.
So, while it's technically correct to say that the Sun emits *rays* of all these types, it's more accurate to describe the Sun's energy output as electromagnetic radiation spanning a wide range of wavelengths.
