Sunlight absorbed by the oceans and land masses keeps the surface at an average temperature of 14 ° C.

Sunlight, in the broad sense, is the total frequency spectrum of electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun, particularly infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light.

Sunlight in space at the top of Earth's atmosphere at a power of 1366 watts / m < sup > 2 </ sup > is composed ( by total energy ) of about 50 % infrared light, 40 % visible light, and 10 % ultraviolet light.
