Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that carries energy through space. It travels at a constant speed in a vacuum, the fastest known speed in the universe.

Light behaves both as a wave and as a particle, a dual nature described by quantum physics. This allows it to exhibit properties like interference and discrete energy packets.

Light allows us to observe the universe and understand distant objects. It carries information across vast cosmic distances.
