Infrared heat is light produced by the sun, and is the heat you feel penetrate your skin when you stand in the sun and you miss when you walk in the shade. Infrared energy is also given off as body heat. No need to worry -- it has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation (which gives you sunburn and damages your skin) or atomic radiation (the kind from a nuclear bomb). Radient heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion, without having to heat the air in between. Radient heat is also called far-infrared energy (FIR). Our sun is the principal source of radient energy.
