Light travels in straight lines at 300,000 km per second. White light is a mixture of seven colors and the shadow of an object is always on the opposite side of the light source. Objects can be transparent, translucent, or opaque depending on how much light they allow to pass through. Natural bodies like the sun produce their own light while artificial ones are man-made. Heat moves from hot to cold bodies and materials can conduct or insulate heat transfer.
