gravity is a distortion in space-time, and when light passes through it, the distortion acts like a lens and bends the light eg- things look twisted around a black holes event horizon because of the massive gravity

What is lense?

Gravitational lensing is the bending of light around a massive object due to gravity.


What object is so dense and has such strong gravity that no light can escape it?

A black hole is an object with such strong gravity that not even light can escape its pull. This intense gravity is due to its extreme density, formed when a massive star collapses in on itself.


Would you feel heavy or light on Uranus?

You would feel heavier. The acceleration due to gravity on Uranus is 10.72, while the acceleration due to gravity of Earth is 9.8 m/s2 (or 9.81, it depends on who you ask.).


When was Gravity of Light created?

Gravity of Light was created in 2010.


What is a gravity light?

I don't think there is a scientific concept called "gravity light". There is gravity, and there is light. The two are not directly related.


What are the characteristic of light at zero gravity?

When there's no gravity, light just travels in one direction at the speed of light. Gravity bends the direction at which light travels.


What is gravity distortion?

Gravity bends space, and because light travels through space gravity distorts light. Actually, gravity warps spacetime, so just as space is bent, so is time. Gravity thus distorts both space and time.


What is an object so massive that light cannot escape its gravity called?

A black hole is an object so massive that light cannot escape its gravity, due to the intense gravitational pull caused by its mass and density.


What effect does gravity have on light?

Yes! It is even measurable. Einstein was the first to suggest this mathematically, and scientists have since proven this experimentally and in the real world - thus the discovery and identification of Black Holes in space. Gravity has the ability to bend light waves (thus begging the question - is light energy or matter - and thus described as both photons and waves. Photons would suggest characteristics of matter, and waves suggest characteristics of energy.)


Is the gravity of earth is because of it rotation?

No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.No - the gravity of Earth is due to its mass.


What are two situation that light bend?

Light can bend when passing through different mediums with varying densities, due to a change in the speed of light. Light can also bend when it travels near massive objects like stars or black holes, due to the distortion of space-time caused by gravity.


Does gravity have more force in dark or light?

The amount of light doesn't effect the force of gravity.
