Yes as explained in the theory of relativity Yes. Light is affected by gravity, but because light travels so fast, the effect is not noticeable under most conditions. As light passes by something with mass its path bends toward the object in what is called gravitational lensing. We have observed this effect around massive galaxies as the light from galaxies behind them is distorted.

Gravity affects the fabric of space-time. So both space and time will be distorted.

Yes.


What of particles does gravity affect?

Gravity effects anything that has mass, period. This includes electromagnetic radiation. Even light bends in space because of gravity.


What is the speed of light in zero gravity?

Gravity does not effect speed of light ,so velocity is constant. Even if it effect the effect is negligible. So in short answer is 3*108ms-1 -Thunder


Which is not influenced by gravity?

Light is not influenced by gravity. It travels in straight lines through a vacuum at a constant speed, regardless of the presence of gravity. Gravity can only affect the path of light when it passes through a medium that bends its path, such as a black hole.

Does light have gravity and if so, how does it affect the behavior of light in the universe?

Light does not have mass, so it does not have gravity in the traditional sense. However, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, light can be affected by gravity. This is known as gravitational lensing, where light bends around massive objects like stars and galaxies, altering its path. This phenomenon can distort the appearance of distant objects and provide insights into the distribution of mass in the universe.
