'If we consider radiation coming from the Sun to be distributed from about 0.2-0.3 microns (millionths of a metre) to many centimetre wavelengths, that spans orders of magnitude, many orders of magnitude. Our eyes are sensitive to a tiny tiny part of that, from about 0.4 to about 0.7 microns, so it's a tiny fraction of this overall spectrum.'
