Q2. The Sun is a yellow star. It can warm our skin and give us light so we can see. However, the Sun can also burn us. How do we explain these daily phenomena in terms of EM spectrum and wavelength?
The Sun sends a few different kinds of energy to Earth. There is infrared radiation, which is heat. There is visible light, which is what our eyes can see. There is also ultraviolet light. We can’t see ultraviolet with our eyes, but it can burn our skin.
