Examples of natural light you see every day.

📚 Quick Study Guide

• ☀️ Natural light originates from the sun.
• 🌍 The Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight, creating the blue sky.
• 🌈 Refraction of sunlight through water droplets creates rainbows.
• 🌿 Photosynthesis in plants uses natural light to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The chemical equation is: $6CO_2 + 6H_2O + light \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$
• 🌡️ Natural light provides warmth and affects weather patterns.
• 💡 The intensity of natural light varies depending on time of day, season, and location.
• ⌚ Natural light helps regulate our circadian rhythm, influencing sleep-wake cycles.
