What is rays of sun light called?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

A simplified model that helps people understand the behaviour of light when it reflects off mirrors and passes through lenses in which light is represented as a straight line or a ray that shows the direction the light wave is travelling

Answer 3

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!

Answer 4

As far as I am aware, there is no such thing as "a ray of moonlight". There is only light. A particle of light is called a "photon". The moon is visible to us because it reflects the light created by our Sun during the process of nuclear fusion in which hydrogen atoms are fused together to create helium atoms. This process creates heat and light, and some of that light hits the moon and is reflected back to your eye.

Answer 5

Rays of light are caused by light passing through a small appature, like a chink in a curtain. A torch is another example.

Answer 6

They go on "forever" until they "hit" something.

Answer 7

Rays of sunlight are often referred to as sunbeams or sunrays. They are the visible light emitted by the sun that travels through space and reaches the Earth.

Answer 8

nothing they travel in straight line

Answer 9

light rays
