The sun produces radio waves, as well as emissiond throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. Not sure what you mean by "real radio waves" or "similar frequency radio waves" - please clarify.

If the sun produce radio waves... so the heat and light produce radio waves .is it right...

Sort of -but remember that "lihgt" and radio waves are simply dfferent wave lengths of electromagnetic radiation. The emissions of various wavelengths of electromagnetic waves are governed by factors such as the temperature of the star - all hot objects emit radiation in accordance with black body radiation laws. It's what makes hot stars glow bluer than cool stars, and makes the surface of our sun appear yellow. But stars also emit radiation due to the effects of plasma gas being accelerated in gravtitational and magnetic fields, and photons of various wavelengths due to the quantum effects of the electrons of the constituent gasses changing energy levels.

Also... does sun produce radio waves because it has big mass like a huge magnet
