👉 Carpet-light particles, often found in atmospheric and astrophysical contexts, are subatomic or microscopic particles that exhibit properties similar to light but originate from a diffuse, spread-out source rather than a single point. These particles can include dust, pollen, sea salt, and other aerosols suspended in the air. Unlike photons, which are massless and travel at the speed of light, carpet-light particles are composed of matter and interact with electromagnetic radiation through absorption, emission, and scattering processes. They contribute to the diffuse glow observed in the atmosphere, such as the faint glow around city lights or the subtle illumination of the night sky. These particles play a crucial role in various phenomena, including atmospheric optics, climate science, and even the behavior of light in space, where they can scatter sunlight and affect the Earth's energy balance.
