When is an object seen?
You don't actually see the object you see the light that has reflected off of it, that reaches your eyes. What you see is actually in the past. first the light hits it then it travels to your eyes to the optic nerve from there to the brain where it gets sorted out to make sense to you. This all happens so quickly that you may as well have actually seen the object, unless of course it is many light years away like the stars where you can see objects that have stopped being what you see millions of years ago. -someone I am reading in my science book and it says that 'When white light strikes a colored opaque object, some colors of light are absorbed, and some are reflected. Only the light that is reflected reaches your eyes. The colors of light that is reflected by an opaque object determine the color you see.' -Haileybh

There are two ways that the color white occurs, as light and as the color of an object.
