* Ultraviolet (UV) radiation: This comprises about 10% of the Sun's total radiation. It has shorter wavelengths than visible light and can be harmful to living organisms.
* Visible light: This makes up about 40% of the Sun's total radiation and is the light we see with our eyes. It consists of a spectrum of colors, from red to violet.
* Infrared (IR) radiation: This comprises about 50% of the Sun's total radiation. It has longer wavelengths than visible light and is what we feel as heat.
* Radio waves: The Sun also emits radio waves, which have the longest wavelengths of all electromagnetic radiation. These are not as strong as other types of radiation but can still be detected by radio telescopes.
In addition to these, the Sun also emits:
* X-rays: While much less powerful than the other types of radiation, the Sun emits X-rays, particularly during solar flares.
* Gamma rays: These are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation and are emitted during particularly powerful solar events.
The Sun's radiation output isn't consistent, though. It fluctuates slightly over time, and solar flares and coronal mass ejections can release bursts of energy that can cause significant changes in the Sun's radiation output.
