What type of rays come from the sun?

Question

I know that a lot of different types of rays come from the sun, like UV, and Gamma, etc... These different rays can penetrate different levels. I kinda remember hearing something about one of the rays from the sun that can actually go through a couple feet of concrete. I dont really remember much else about it. I was wondering if anyone else knows what these rays are called, and exactly how much they can penetrate. Thanks.

Answer 1

solar rays

Answer 2

The sun, like any star, emits electromagnetic radiation in all wavelengths, from radio to xrays.

Infrared can heat rock, water, and concrete and that could penetrate a few feet of concrete.

But solid objects (concrete, rock, etc.) generally stop almost all EM radiation.
