Light is more than the bright rays that enter a room in the early hours of the day. Light is a type of energy known as electromagnetic radiation. This type of radiation is heat produced by the sun and the only harm it may cause is sunburns. Although there are other types of electromagnetic radiation; light is part we can visualize. It is constructed, perceived, and managed all around us. The speed of light is an acronym that people use for extremely fast, because light is fast; it travels 186,000 miles per second. As a matter of fact it takes like only eight minutes to reach earth. It would take over 170 years to travel to the sun by car. Light brightens your day, puts a smile on your face after the storm, and without there would be no rainbows. To learn more about light follow the resources to enlighten your knowledge about light.
