Newton described Universal gravitation & the three laws of motion. As a result of his discoveries, Astronomy and physics have developed immensely over time. Scientists now understand that every object in the universe has a force that attracts each other and the strength of the force depends on the size of the object. Also, Newton's Laws of Motion give people a better understanding of what is possible regarding movement. This is very beneficial, especially in mechanics and space travel. Overall, Newton had an enormous and lasting impact on science.

Newton also changed how we view light. He found that ordinary "white" light could be broken into component colors by shining the light through a prism. The prism refracted the light, producing all the colors of the rainbow -- the familiar Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet (or "Roy G Biv") we all know so well today.
