Answer:

The solar radiation reaching earth is in three wavelength spectra. The sun emits 44 percent of its radiation in the visible spectrum, seven percent in the ultraviolet spectrum (short wave), and 49 percent in the infrared spectrum (long wave).

Here is a picture of all the visible colors of the Sun, produced by passing the Sun's light through a prism-like device.
