Energy from the Sun includes visible radiation in all its colors of the spectrum, and invisible radiation including infrared, ultraviolet, and other energy types. Many of the optical phenomena we observe in our sky are due to how the Sun's light interacts with our atmosphere but the light we see is only a part of the total energy received.
Without the Sun, life on Earth would not be possible. The energy we receive from the Sun provides light and heat, drives our planet's winds and ocean currents, helps crops grow, and more.
