Well, they're probably not really particles ... but they're called "photons".
Protons and neutrons are made of up and down quarks
Some sub-atomic particles are composite particles. These particles are made from other 'smaller' particles. Examples are the particles that can be found in an atom's nucleus: protons and neutrons. Both these particles consist of 3 quarks. Elementary particles are particles that, at least to present knowledge, are not made from other particles. They are thus the fundamental building blocks from which everything is made, they are not made of anything, they just are. Examples are the electron and the photon.
These particles are called quarks. (Protons made up of two up quarks and a down quark, neutrons made up of two down quarks and an up quark.)
Atoms are composed of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are made up of smaller particles called quarks, which are held together by strong nuclear forces. Electrons are elementary particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom.
The electron is a fundamental particle in the Standard Model of particle physics. It is not composed of smaller particles like protons and neutrons, which are made up of quarks. The electron is considered an elementary particle with no known substructure.
The particles of light are called photons.
Light is made up of particles called photons.
When scientists say that quarks are elementary particles it means that they are NOT made up of other particles.
Quarks are elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons. They are believed to be made up of smaller particles called preons, but this has not been proven conclusively.
Subatomic particles are made up of 2 parts; composite particles and elementary particles. The composite particles consist of the protons and neutrons comprised in an atom. The elementary particles have no substructure and are not made up of any other particles.
No, light does not have mass. It is made up of particles called photons, which are massless.
Protons and neutrons are made of up and down quarks
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is made up of particles called photons. While photons do not have mass, they do have energy and momentum, which means that light behaves both as a wave and as particles.
Light is made up of particles called photons, which have properties of both particles and waves. Photons have no mass and travel at the speed of light. When light interacts with matter, it can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted.

Light is pure energy in the form of what we call Photons.
subatomic particleIn physics or chemistry, subatomic particles are the small particles composing nucleons and atoms. There are two types of subatomic particles: elementary particles, which are not made of other particles, and composite particles.
