This is why we see the sun as white. However, the sun also emits radiation at other wavelengths, including ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Ultraviolet radiation has wavelengths shorter than visible light, while infrared radiation has wavelengths longer than visible light.<\/p>\n<p>The earth&#8217;s atmosphere absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun, but it allows most of the visible and infrared radiation to pass through. The earth&#8217;s surface absorbs the visible and infrared radiation, and re-emits it as infrared radiation.
