I hear a lot of watching light from sun reaching at an interval of a couple of minutes, is a ray of light broken, with each blip having a distance of a few minutes, give or take a few seconds, or is it continous, non broken, as we see, so it is received in our eyes, as one single line of ray? or we talk when it is gone, will we know in some minutes and few seconds, this is understood, but a ray is continous or not? thanks.

Light is actually broken up into what is called photons.These photons could be thought of as little packets of light.These photons are travelling at such a great rate of speed,and are so small,it appears as a continuous stream of light.There is also a great deal of energy in these photons.If you've ever seen Star Trek, photon torpedoes have warheads packed with photons.

It takes 8 Miniutes for the sun light to arrive at earth. If you have broken lights it will arrive as broken
