The photons are affected because the gravitational field affects space-time. Therefore, the photons are responding to the shape of space-time rather than the gravity itself.
The photons in question i suppose are coming from stars and that means they are traveling through space and space is a clear medium. When light travels through a medium it's frequency is lowered and its direction changes. If you were referring to the 1919 eclipse, the stars behind the sun that became visible was due to the suns coronal medium that their light passed through. It was an optical illusion. gravity guru.
What else can I help you with?
Does gravity have an affect on photons?
Yes, photons are affected by gravity. Gravity can cause light to bend around massive objects like stars or galaxies, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. This effect has been observed and confirmed through astronomical observations.
How are photons affected by gravity?
Photons are affected by gravity because they have energy and momentum, which can be influenced by gravitational fields. Gravity can cause photons to change direction or lose energy as they travel through space. This effect is known as gravitational lensing.
Does light have weight?
If light is made of photons and photons have mass then you would assume that light has weight in a gravitational field. In fact light running into an object imparts momentum to it. However photons have no rest mass. If they did , objects that were exposed to sunlight and absorbed it would get heavier as time goes on, they don't. So light has no mass and hence no weight.
What is the difference between weightless and mass less?
weightless means mass without acceleration of gravity massless means no mass and hence no weight even with gravity acceleration WEIGHT = MASS x ACCELERATION In orbit around earth where apparent zero-gravity exists you are weightless, but still have mass
Does Mass and weight are related to one another through the effect gravity has on an object ture or false?
True. Mass and weight are related through the effect gravity has on an object. Mass represents the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Weight is directly proportional to mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
Does gravity bents light?
Gravity will bend (influence) the path of photons (light). This effect is minimal: you would need A LOT of mass (like a black hole or a neutron star) and a very long distance for the photon to travel and to be measured to notice this effect. It is a little strange, as photons are considered to be massless, and should not be influenced by the mass (gravity) of another object. 1. Photons have energy; energy is mass (more or less); mass is affected by gravity. 2. Photons are probably affected by gravity, but you have to worry about refraction of light about a star. So, I think, the total angle is not due to gravity alone. Of course, maybe refraction is a gravity thing?

What if mass and gravity is gone?
No problem. Without mass, gravity has no effect anyway.
Does gravity effect the skin?
Gravity affects everything that has mass.
Measurement of gravity's effect on a mass?
Weight.
Is a measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass?
Sagging is one measure of the effect gravity has upon a mass. This can be observed visually, as gravity is constantly pulling everything, including us, down.
Why do objects with more mass have greater weight?
weight is the effect of gravity acting on mass,the greater the mass the greater the effect on gravity will have on it therefore the greater the weight. eg. if the mass is 50kg and gravity is 10N the the weight is 500N,if the mass increases to 100kg the the weight would increase to 1000N

What does weight rely on?
Mass and gravity. F = ma. Weight is a measurement of the force a mass exerts downwards due to the effect of gravity.
