Why do we receive ultraviolet radiation instead of gamma rays from the Sun?
gpt
The Sun is thick and opaque, and the extreme radiation of the interior is absorbed before it makes its way out. The radiation we get from the Sun is mostly from the thin surface layer, which is heated by the radiation from beneath it. So we don't "see" the million degrees reactor core of the Sun - we see the 6000 K yellow-white surface, and that's the light that hits us. We get this cooler spectrum of light, which includes some UV radiation in there.

Though we do get *some* gamma rays from the Sun, just not a huge amount.
