It is impossible to separate infrared light from ultra violet that is emitted from the sun.




Both instances of unperceived heat energy that is not detectable to the human eye is what I was referring to, yes. (uv as well as infrared)

If you want to get more specific and single out the infrared part of this spectrum, it is true that this is a contributing factor as well as the other parts of the light spectrum... all amount to electromagnetic radiation.

This is where the heat transfer begins to occur where particles are excited and excel in motion within the animal.

It is more than just a direct heat transfer when you are referring to rays emitted from the SUN.

There are electromagnetic (invisible) accelerants that are causing particles (atoms and molecules) to charge and bounce of one another.

This process where the particles are being charged through the electromagnetic (invisible part of the spectrum both uv and infrared) causes a ramp up in heat (thermal energy) in the animal.

The invisible part of the spectrum accelerates this process and makes the heat compound much quicker in the animal. This is what I have been talking about.

So thank you, yes, you have confirmed that for me.



Both (infrared and UV) are contributing to electromagnetic radiation which is an accelerating factor in the thermal heating of all matter by the sun.





Electro Magnetic radiation with a wavelength between approximately 400 nm and 700 nm is directly detected by the human eye and perceived as visible light. Other wavelengths, especially nearby infrared (longer than 700 nm) and ultraviolet (shorter than 400 nm) are also sometimes referred to as light, especially when visibility to humans is not relevant.





The term ultraviolet refers to the fact that the radiation is at higher frequency than violet light (and, hence also invisible to the human eye).

At any given moment, the amount of solar radiation received at a location on the Earth's surface depends on the state of the atmosphere and the location's latitude.


The solar constant includes all wavelengths of solar electromagnetic radiation, not just the visible light.
