* Visible Light: This is the portion of the spectrum our eyes can see, and it's what we perceive as sunlight.
* Infrared Radiation: We feel this as heat. It's responsible for warming the Earth and driving weather patterns.
* Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation: While invisible to our eyes, UV radiation is responsible for sunburns and can cause skin cancer. The Earth's atmosphere filters out most of the harmful UV radiation.
* X-rays and Gamma Rays: These are high-energy radiations emitted by the Sun's corona. Thankfully, our atmosphere absorbs almost all of them.
The Sun also emits other forms of radiation, such as radio waves and microwaves, but these are less significant in terms of their impact on Earth.
