Ocean Light

Ocean light refers to the illumination within the ocean, primarily caused by sunlight penetrating the water. This light enables photosynthesis in marine plants and algae, forming the basis of the ocean food chain. The intensity and depth of light vary depending on water clarity, angle of the sun, and time of day. Light also influences ocean temperature, biological behavior, and the health of marine ecosystems. As sunlight diminishes with depth, deeper ocean zones have minimal to no natural light, creating distinct environmental conditions for diverse marine life.
