There are many different types of Energy that come from the SUN
All of the types of energy travel in waves with different wavelengths. All type of energy are part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum 28 November 2018 David Raju

The energy is called Electromagnetic because the waves have electrical and magnetic features. The Spectrum usually divided into SEVEN parts 28 November 2018 David Raju

Common properties of Electromagnetic Spectrum All are transverse waves All travel at the same speed i.e., 3 x 108ms-1 in a vacuum All can travel through a vacuum They exhibit the properties of reflection and refraction EM waves can be described as vibrating electric and Magnetic fields 28 November 2018 David Raju
