Photons ('particles' of light) have zero rest mass.
When they move at the speed of light (the normal situation) they do have momentum due to the relativistic nature of the Universe.
If we were to hypothesize light particles with mass the development of the Universe would be entirely different.

What happens to mass when a spaceship appraoches the speed of light?
If speed approaches the speed of light, the mass of any object will increase. This is not just theory; it is observed on a daily basis. Not with spaceships, of course; the technology is not ready yet - but with subatomic particles in accelerators.
Will you gain mass while traveling at the speed of light?
According to the theory of relativity, as an object with mass approaches the speed of light, its momentum and energy increase significantly, but its mass remains constant. So, from the perspective of an observer, the object would appear to gain mass, but in its own frame of reference, it would not.
What happen to the acceleration of the cart as you decrease the the washers in the pan?
Decreasing washers in the pan decreases mass, so acceleration should increase.
Will the mass change at a very high speed compared the speed of light?
Yes. According to the extended theory of relativity, mass will increase as an objects speed increases. The closer the object's speed gets to the speed of light, the greater its mass will be and a greater force will be required to continue to accelerate it.
What was wrong with helmonts conclusion that when plants grow their increase in mass comes from water?
Increase of mass from water. Actually increase in mass is the result of increase in organic matter instead of water.
What will happen if you increase the mass of an object what will the potential energy do?
If you increase the mass of an object, the potential energy will increase.
What would happen if albert could ride a beam of light?
According to Einstein's theory of relativity, as an object with mass approaches the speed of light, its mass would increase infinitely and it would require infinite energy to accelerate further. Therefore, it is impossible for Albert to ride a beam of light as he has mass.
It is said that when energy is supplied to a body at the speed of light it is used up to increase its mass. What will happen if the mass of the body is converted into energy?
First, there is no such thing as "conversion from mass to energy".Also, if something is moving exactly at the speed of light, it can only be something that has zero mass (formerly called "rest mass"). For example, it might be photons, or gravitons - particles that can ONLY move at the speed of light. If you provide energy to an object moving at any speed, you will increase its energy - and this increase in energy will also be noticeable as some kind of mass; it will be harder to accelerate the object.
If the mass of abject increases what will happen to its acceleration if the same amount of?
it will increase.
Does the size of the particle increase with the increase in mass while close to the speed of light?
No, as an object's speed approaches the speed of light, its mass increases according to special relativity, but the actual size of the object does not increase. This is because size is not a relativistic quantity, but mass and energy are.
What happen to the density if the mass is increased?
If the mass of an object is increased while its volume remains constant, the density of the object will also increase. Density is defined as mass divided by volume, so an increase in mass with constant volume leads to a higher density.
What would happen if there was no traffic light?
there would be more accidents
Does mass increase with speed?
Yes, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass increases.
What happens to the energy that light gains from a Gravity Assist when passing by a mass in space since light cannot increase in speed?
Light cannot increase its speed, but it can increase its energy. Doing so will increase its frequency, or equivalently shorten its wavelength. It will thus be blue shifted.
What happen for something to gain mass?
An object gains mass when matter is added to it. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so adding particles or substances to an object will increase its mass.
Why the mass of the person increases in space ship?
Mass does not increase in a spaceship. Mass increases infinitesimally according to the speed of the body. This increase does not have any effect until light speed is closely approached. Which is presently impossible with our present technology.
Do you increase or decrease in mass?
you increase or decrease mass by taking the mass out
