Facts about light you didnt need to know but now you know

1) The sky looks blue because the air particles scatter the wavelengths of sunlight as the sun shines. Blue light is scattered more than red light, hence why the sky appears blue
2) Light can actually bend if the gravitational pull of an object is strong enough. Obviously such an object would need to be incredibly massive and dense.
3) If something was able to move faster than the speed of light then it would be able to see back in time
4)If it was midnight and the sun turned off unexpectedly, we would be able to see the moon for 1.255 more seconds
5) The light from the sun that we see is 10 minutes old. So if the sun turned off we would still have light for an extra 10 minutes
6) If you placed a leaf under green light, it would die, because it would reflect the green and wouldn't be able to absorb any other wavelengths of light for photosynthesis
