[Astro] Does our Sun radiate anything else other than photons?

Yes, plenty of stuff. For one, the fusion reactions that power all the good stuff also produce neutrinos. These are extremely light particles (the lightest particles with non-zero mass that we know) that almost never interact with other particles. Right now, there are hundreds of milions of neutrinos going through your hand every second.

Since the plasma that the sun is composed of is largely very hot, parts of it can escape into space. This is called the solar wind, which is comprised primarily of protons, electrons and helium nuclei (alpha particles). Since these are all charged particles, their heading is altered by magnetic fields. On Earth, the geomagnetic field causes solar wind particles to be redirected towards the poles. The interaction of these particles with the atmosphere causes the aurora borealis (northern lights) (and the equivalent near the south pole).
