solar radiation

Solar radiation is the energy emitted by the Sun in the form of electromagnetic waves, primarily sunlight. It travels through space and reaches Earth, providing the essential energy that drives weather, climate, and supports life through processes like photosynthesis. Solar radiation includes visible light, infrared, and ultraviolet rays. The amount and intensity of this radiation vary depending on factors like the time of day, season, and geographic location. It is a natural and continuous source of energy that influences Earth's environment and can be harnessed for renewable power through solar panels.
