Answer #1

The wavelength range for infrared light is 700 nm - 1 mm

= 700*10-9 m - 1*10-3 m

= 0.7*10-6 m - 1000*10-6 m

= 0.7 micro miter - 1000 micro miter

The earth receives IR from the sun over the whole range (considering that the sun is a blackbody emitter), but the solar IR light becomes insignificant at longer wavelengths (~4 mm) compared to IR light emitted from the Earth or the Earth’s atmosphere.

The wavelength limits for the thermal IR range are from 5 micro miter - 100 micro miter.
