So, I always thought that NIR was created by the motion of atom at they're everyday temperature, but light is an electrons which goes from one energy state to an other, so how does just "shaking" electrons make light?

Infra red light, also known as infrared radiation or NIR, is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a longer wavelength than visible light. It is not visible to the human eye, but can be felt as heat.
NIR is created when electrons in atoms or molecules move from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. This movement produces energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including infrared light.
NIR has a variety of uses, including in heating and cooking, communication (such as remote controls), thermal imaging, and medical imaging.
NIR can affect living organisms in different ways, depending on the intensity and duration of exposure. Infrared radiation can be used to treat muscle injuries and promote healing, but excessive exposure can also cause burns and damage to cells.
NIR has a longer wavelength than visible light, which means it has a lower frequency and carries less energy. This makes it less harmful than other types of radiation, such as ultraviolet or X-rays. Additionally, NIR is not visible to the human eye, but can be detected by special equipment.
