A light proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, carrying a positive charge and having a mass of about 1.007 Atomic Mass units (amu). In contrast, a neutron is a neutral particle, also located in the nucleus, with a mass of approximately 1.008 amu. While protons and neutrons are both types of nucleons, protons are lighter in terms of electric charge but slightly heavier than neutrons in terms of mass. Thus, in terms of charge, protons are "light" (positive) compared to neutrons (neutral).
