I’m guessing that your question concerns the charged electrical particles from the Sun rather than the heat and light. The lowest altitude that solar wind particles can reach is about 25 miles, well above the ground and the altitude at which passenger jets fly. When these particles do hit the Earth’s atmosphere, they create the Aurora Borealis and Australis about 60 to 80 miles up in the atmosphere.
