Light is electromagnetic radiation that is detectable to the eye. Occasionally, the term light is used to refer to electromagnetic radiation in general. Light can be understood quantitatively by a unit called a photon.

The distance that light travels in one year is a unit of measurement for starship navigation and the speed that light travels is a unit of measurement for starship velocity.

Some cloaking and holographic technologies operate by manipulating light in some fashion.
