1. Visible Light: This is the portion of the spectrum we can see with our eyes, giving us the familiar colors of the rainbow.
2. Infrared Radiation: This is invisible to our eyes but we feel it as heat. It's responsible for warming the Earth.
3. Ultraviolet Radiation (UV): This is also invisible to our eyes and can be harmful to living organisms in large doses. It's responsible for sunburns.
4. X-rays: These are high-energy waves that can penetrate many materials. The Sun emits a constant stream of X-rays.
5. Gamma Rays: These are the highest-energy waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. While the Sun emits gamma rays, they are mostly produced during solar flares.
6. Radio Waves: The Sun also emits radio waves, which are used in communication and astronomy.
In addition to electromagnetic radiation, the Sun also emits a constant stream of charged particles known as the solar wind. This wind is composed mainly of protons and electrons.
It's important to remember that the Sun emits all of these waves at varying intensities. The specific amount of each type of radiation reaching Earth depends on several factors, including the Sun's activity level and Earth's atmosphere.
