Plants use a process called photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide in the air and water into food. Light from the sun provides the energy to make this possible. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis. So when light shines on plants, they begin producing food and oxygen out of carbon dioxide and water. This reduces the amount of carbon dioxide and increases the amount of oxygen in the air.
