Under the photon theory of light, a photon is a discrete bundle (or quantum) of electromagnetic (or light) energy. Photons are always in motion and, in a vacuum, have a constant speed of light to all observers, at the vacuum speed of light (more commonly just called the speed of light) of c = 2.998 x 108 m/s.
The particle (photon) and wave (wavelength) characteristics of light. E =hf = zQ2c/w where Q is the photon charge and w is the wavelength. One problem with the above answer: the charge of a photon is zero. E(photon) = hf where 'h' is Planck's Constant and 'f' is the frequency of the vibrations of light. hf = hc/w where 'c' is the speed of light and 'w' is the wavelength of the light. The more correct answer on "What are the dual characteristics of light" is that light will sometimes act like a wave and sometimes act like a particle -- and what it acts like depends on what experiment you are performing.
The energy of a photon is inversely propotional to its wavelength. The wavelength of a blue photon is less than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. Or how about this? The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. The frequency of a blue photon is greater than that of a red photon. That makes the blue photon more energetic. The wavelength of a photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The the longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.
photon
the mass of a photon is zero
You need to know the photon's frequency or wavelength. If you know the wavelength, divide the speed of light by the photon's wavelength to find the frequency. Once you have the photon's frequency, multiply that by Planck's Konstant. The product is the photon's energy.

a photon is a photon is a photon
Not sure what you mean, as the photon is classified as a separate particle. Light, like electrons, sometimes displays particle characteristics and sometimes displays wave characteristics.

No, a photon is not time travelling
No. A photon is a particle of light. It is massless.
. . . photon.

No, it could not. A blue photon carries more energy than a red photon, since the blue photon's frequency is higher. That means one red photon wouldn't deliver enough energy to the atom to give it the energy to emit a blue photon.
