Moving electrons or other charged carriers is called electricity. The amount of electrical pressure pushing the electrons is called the voltage. The number of electrons moving past some point in a given time is called the current. Electrons are subatomic particles (smaller than atoms) called leptons.

Are electrons moving through space called light?

No, electrons moving through space are not called light. Light is electromagnetic radiation that is made up of photons, while electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles found in atoms. Moving electrons can produce light when they transition between energy levels in an atom, but they are not the same as light itself.
