Reply to comment by hydroxypcp in Radon is a monatomic gas, but its decay products are solids. After a decay, what happens to the individual atoms of the daughter elements? Do they stay suspended in the atmosphere or slowly rain out? by foodtower
Pretty much my line of thinking, yeah.

As far as I'm aware, "arbitrarily many"
If this one introductory thermodynamics course I did last semester is any indication

You're thinking of black-body radiation, the phenomenon where an object emits electromagnetic radiation purely because it has a temperature greater than zero.
There are electric charges inside the object - nuclei and electrons. This creates electric fields. When an object has temperature, its particles move around, which means they undergo acceleration. A charge undergoing acceleration in an electric field scatters that field (which also happens when that field is what caused it to move), which creates propagations in that field - electromagnetic waves - light. The higher the temperature, the higher the energy, and Planck gives us a direct relation between energy and frequency. Higher frequency means shorter wavelength. Sufficiently hot objects will therefore emit visible wavelength, while something as warm as, say, a human body emits lower-energy infrared radiation.

The Greek classics. They were performed as oral tradition originally, so naturally they're designed to be read aloud.
