This light is called bioluminescence. It is not hot like fire. It is a soft, cool <strong>glow<\/strong>. We can see this light at night. Bioluminescence happens in the sea and on land. Many animals use it to live and stay safe.<\/p>\n<p>The deep <strong>oceaan<\/strong> is very dark. The sun cannot reach the bottom. But the water is not empty. Many <strong>wezens<\/strong> there make their own light. Some fish have lights on their heads. They glow blue or green in the dark water.<\/p>\n<p>On land, the <strong>firefly<\/strong> is famous for its light. On warm summer nights, fireflies fly in the air. Their small lights blink on and off. They use the light to find a friend. Many people love to watch them.<\/p>\n<p>Why do animals make light? Some use light to find food. The light can <strong>attract<\/strong> small fish or bugs. When the food comes close, the animal can eat it. Other animals use light to scare away enemies. This keeps the animal safe. Light is a useful tool for many animals.<\/p>\n<p>Animals make light with a chemical inside their bodies. The chemical mixes with air and makes a glow. This is a clever trick from nature. Scientists study these animals to learn more. Their natural light is truly amazing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>A.
