Exposure from terrestrial radiation. The composition of the earth's crust is a major source of natural radiation. The main contributors are natural deposits of uranium, potassium and thorium which, in the process of natural decay, will release small amounts of ionizing radiation.-rays: X-rays are a form of radiation similar to gamma radiation but they are produced mainly by artificial means rather than from radioactive substances. Neutron radiation: Neutron radiation occurs when neutrons are ejected from the nucleus by nuclear fission and other processes.
Because electronic transitions for single atoms is not the only possible source of electromagnetic radiation. There are lots of sources. The sun happens to emit radiation primarily by the Black body phenomenon -- that is, any object that is hot will emit a continuum of radiation easily predictable by its temperature.
