Light is an electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived as color by the eyes.

A unit of light is called a photon.

Both cloaking devices and holograms function by manipulating light.

The distance that light travels in one year is a unit of measurement for starship navigation and the speed that light travels is a unit of measurement for starship velocity.
