It doesn't have mass or take up space.
<><><><><>
Light is energy, and energy is matter, according to Einstein. Besides, it has been proved that light is affected by Gravity and, in order to do that, it has to have mass. Look again at Einstein and others, such as Lorentz... The photon has no mass, or does it? True, it seems to have no mass, but that is at rest state. Multiply that by infinity to account for mass increase and time dilation due to traveling at the speed of light, and what do you get? Something that looks like a particle, having mass, traveling at the speed of light.

∙ 9y agoLight and shadow do not occupy space, have no mass or volume, and therefore are not considered matter.
However, they are not antimatter either.
answer2:
"occupy space"? A cubic meter of hydrogen does not occupy a cubic meter of space. It is very likely that cubic mater of space is unoccupied by hydrogen matter. So the wave of light particles occupy the space like the hydrogen particles do, but light is smaller. Matter does not occupy its space ,it occupies. its particles.

Is science all around us?
Yes. Matter and energy are science, and there is matter all around us, except for where there are vacuums. Light can pass through vacuums, and light is a form of energy. So there's more science in vacuum chambers than just vacuums.
Is light an example of matter?
No, light is not an example of matter. It is an example of electromagnetic waves. However, it is considered that light is composed of photons (massless particles) and it is applied to it some theories of matter.
The behavior and properties of light and the interaction of light with matter is?
optics
What is the full form of tube light?
tube light
Can matter both absorbs and reflect light?
TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!:]
Is light a form matter?
No. Light is a form of energy.
Is light one of the states of matter?
No. Light is a form of energy.
Is light is an example of matter?
Light is a form a energy. It is not an 'example' of matter. Matter only consists of solids, liquids and gases, and plasma.
What the difference between light and plasma?
Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. Plasma is an excited form of matter.
Are the particles that make up light the same particles that make up all matter?
No. Light is a form of energy. Matter has mass. Light has no mass.
Does light weight anything?
Light is not matter but is a form of a wave, so we do not say that it has any weight.
Is the sun a form of light?
No. The sun produces light, but is itself made of matter, mostly hydrogen.
What happens when light moves form one kind of matter to another?
that changes the speed of the light, which makes the light bend
Is light and sound is matter?
Matter has to have mass, and you are not able to collect light and sound and find out the mass.
Is lighting plasma?
No. Plasma is a state of matter. Light is not matter. It is energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Why light sound and energy are not considered to be matter?
Sort of. Light and sound are forms of energy, which according to Einstein, is a form of matter ( E=mc2). For most purposes, though, energy isn't really matter. moreover , light and sound is energy not matter because it is the massless particle..!
What does light travel in and when do it stop?
Light travels in the form of waves or particles called photons. It stops only when absorbed by matter.
