They are really small and they make sedimentary rocks if they clump together in layers over time. They come from other rocks. They can be transported by wind, water, and ice.
Light is not all the same; there are differences in its properties and characteristics.

No, rocks made of sediments are called sedimentary rocks. Igneous rock comes from volcanic activity -- lava and the like.

During transport, the physical characteristics of sediments change due to processes like abrasion, sorting, and compaction. As sediments are moved by water, wind, or ice, they tend to become smaller and rounder as edges are worn down. Sorting occurs as sediments are separated by size and weight, often leading to a more uniform grain size in the deposit. Additionally, compaction can increase density and alter the arrangement of particles as sediments settle in new environments.
Examples of the characteristics of matter: state of matter, density, radioactivity, thermal properties, electrical properties, optical properties, chemical composition, etc.

Is determined by the way the sediments were transported to the place where they are deposited. Sediments have four main transported agents: Wind, Water, Gravity, and Ice. Sediments particles size can be carried and the distance is determined by the speed of that particle. Both the the distance of the sediments and the sediments agents determines the characteristics of that sediment.
