Solar radiation is radiation given off by the
Sun, consisting mainly of visible light,
ultraviolet radiation, and infrared
radiation, although the whole spectrum of
electromagnetic waves is present, from radio
waves to X-rays. High-energy charged
particles such as electrons are also emitted,
especially from solar flares.
