A RAY OF LIGHT IS A RAY THAT THE SUN PRODUCES AND IT SHINES ON STUFF
~ this was said by 8th grader~ its the right answer :)
^ KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid. I like it.
(Alternative):
Light, is electromagnetic radiation composed out of photons. A ray is a line with one end, and the other end extending to infinity. Thus a ray of light would be photons traveling in a given direction.
Colloquially, a ray of light is light that reflects off of dust in the air, giving the appearance of a glowing light shining down through the air.
One of the most complicated things to ask in history. Light is at the same time a particle and an electromagnetic wave. Read about the double slit experiment to understand that oddity (Double-Slit Experiment). A light ray is a narrow beam of light that is moving in a defined direction. The concept is used in optics to help explain the function of lenses and mirrors.

Sun rays
What are the rays from the sun to the moon called?
Moonlight. it is the light that comes to Earth from the Moon. This light does not originate from the Moon, but is actually reflected sunlight. In many legends and fantasy games, moonlight is an important part of magical processes (for example, werewolves transform at full moon).
What is are sun rays called in the summer?
At any time of the year they are 'RADIATION'.
How many rays are on the sun?
The sun emits countless rays of light and energy in all directions. It is impossible to determine an exact number of rays on the sun as they are constantly being emitted and are not individually distinguishable.
What is it called when earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching it?
It is called an eclipse when Earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching it.
What are Light rays from the sun called?
Solar energy
Is a Sun light rays kinetic or potential energy?
No, Sun light rays are neither of these things. The light of the Sun is electromagnetic energy.
What is light rays coming in called?
Light rays coming in are called incident light rays.
How does the light get from the sun to us?
Sun rays
Are the rays of the sun called thermo rays?
It's plausible that someone might call them that, but no one I know does. They're electromagnetic rays, aka "light".
What is the light rays that bounce back called?
The light rays that bounce back are called reflected light rays.
What are the rays from the sun to the moon called?
Moonlight. it is the light that comes to Earth from the Moon. This light does not originate from the Moon, but is actually reflected sunlight. In many legends and fantasy games, moonlight is an important part of magical processes (for example, werewolves transform at full moon).
What do we call it when the sun gives out light?
rays"gama rays"
How do rays of light?
The sun shines its powerful, hot rays onto the ground. The light rays travel in light years, which is why we constantly feel the sun during the day. The only reason why we aren't burned by the rays of light is because the sun is so far away. Hope this helps!
Is the sun god Ra the reason you call sun rays rays?
NO.the rays are just called rays
What are the harmful rays of sun called?
they are called UV, or Ultraviolet rays.
What is are sun rays called in the summer?
At any time of the year they are 'RADIATION'.
