Light is a beam that is shot out of a light source or explosion of gas and photon particles give of that beam which does have a mass but todays technology is unable to measure it.

Does light has mass and takes up space?
Do you know why can't we see a black hole even in the reflection of the light of the near stars? It is because the gravitational pull of a black hole is too much it attracts and traps the Photon particles(particles of light) and does'nt allow it to escape and reach our eyes. We know that Force= Mass*Acceleration.So if the mass of Photon particles is 0 unit, force applied on the Photon particles will be 0 unit, which directly means that no force is applied on the Photon particles. Thus if no force is applied the Photon particles then they will be not attracted towards the black hole. But in reality it is attracted, this suggests that light has mass. And if light has mass it will also take space.
What is particles of light called?
photon
What is light made of?
Light is made up of mass less particles known as photons. It is also made of metal and electricity.A photon has mass.
Is a light is a matter?
It is usually considered energy, but it is also made up of particles called photons. Although these photon are particles, their mass is zero. It has been experimentally determined that the mass MUST be less than 10^-51 gm. Since photon have no mass, they cannot be considered matter.
What is the correct term for particles of light?
a photon
What subatomic particles have a mass of 0?
The photon. This refers to the "rest mass"; since the photon has energy, it also has an associated mass. But the "rest mass" or "invariant mass" is zero.
What particles in an atom are light particles?
Electrons are the lighter particles of an atom. If you are referring to the phenomena of light in electromagnetic radiation the particles are called photons. They are not part of an atom as such but can be emitted or absorbed by atoms under certain circumstances.
Which particle has the least amount of mass?
The 'rest mass' of the photon is zero ... but the photon is never at rest, and it has plenty of mass at the speed of light, at which it is always traveling. so that let's the photon out. Amongst particles that actually have rest mass, but not much of it, the neutrino probably has the least.
Who invented photon?
No one, photons are particles of light.
How does photon differ from inertial particle?
A photon is said to be "massless", meaning that it has no REST MASS (of course, having energy, it also has an equivalent mass).In a vacuum, a photon can ONLY move at the so-called speed of light (about 300,000 km/second). "Regular" particles can ONLY move at sub-light speed. They can get close to the speed of light, but never quite reach it.
Does a photon move at the speed of light?
Yes, a photon moves at the speed of light, because photons have no mass.
What is the theory of photon in light?
That theory states that light behaves as group of particles.
