What happens to the electromagnetic energy from the sun?

The Sun continuously emits two kinds of radiation: electromagnetic and corpuscular. Electromagnetic radiation provides light and warmth but also consists of invisible radiation some of which can be harmful such as ultraviolet.

Why is the sun's electromagnetic radiation necessary for life?

Solar radiation provides heat, light, and energy necessary for all living organisms. Infrared radiation supplies heat to all habitats, on land, and in the water. Without solar radiation, Earth's surface would be about 32°C colder. Solar radiation provides the necessary heat and light for life on Earth.
