Fastest thing ever - Light travels at 299,792,458 meters per second (about 186,000 miles per second). Nothing is faster!

Takes 8 minutes from the Sun - Sunlight takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth.

Colors are just different wavelengths - Red light has the longest waves, and violet has the shortest.

White light is a mix of all colors - When you see a rainbow, it's white light splitting into different colors!

Some animals see more than us - Bees and butterflies can see ultraviolet light, which humans can't.

Black is not a color - Black is just the absence of light-it absorbs all colors instead of reflecting them.

Light can bend - This is called refraction and is why a straw in water looks bent!

Fireflies make light - This is called bioluminescence, and some deep-sea creatures do it too!

Moonlight is just reflected sunlight - The Moon doesn't glow by itself; it just bounces sunlight back to us.

Shadows can have different colors - If multiple light sources shine on an object, the shadows can be different colors!
