Light on earth is energy from the the sun 150 mill. km. away.
Sun is a star 4,5 bill. years old and is the center of The Solar System, which includes planets, asteroider, comets with an full extent of about 1 light year.
Close to the sun are the 4 planets Merkur, Venus, Earth and Mars, they are all terrestic planets.
Between Mars and venus is The Asteroid Belt – a small rocky body orbiting the sun.
The 4 big planets are all gasses: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptun and the small planet Pluto.
Much far away in The Solar System is Kuiper Belt with thousands of comets and Oorts Sky with millions of comets in a distance of about one light year away.
Light is particle (electron energy) and wave at the same time and has a speed of 300.000 km. in a second.

The light over Elsinore town:
Elsinore, North Sealand, Denmark. In 1426 King Erik 7 of Pommern gave the town merchants privilege to develope commerce (Købstadsprivilegier). With the introduction of the “Sundtolden” all ships in and out of the Baltic Sea had to ancher at Elsinore to pay the tax. That gave the ships time to buy proviant from the merchants in Elsinore. Elsinore expanded in size, inhabitants and wealth the next 4-500 hundreds years. Today there are hundreds of buildings more then 2-400 years old all over the town. Here on the picture 5 small houses from 17-1800 at neighbour to Karmeliter Monastery and “Karmeliterhuset” from 1516-90 and today Elsinore Town Museum. In the background: The Cathedral Sct Olai builded 1400- 1521. Photo: 7. october 2011 by Erik K Abrahamsen.

King Erik 7 of Pommern (King of Denmark and Norway 1412-39) needed money to rule Denmark and ordered all ships sailing through the danish straights to pay for passing. In the straights of Øresund all ships to The Baltic Sea had to stop in Elsinore to pay the tax: Sundtolden. To set force behind his decision he builded the fortress “Krogen” on a point at the seashore of Øresund in Elsinore. The fortress “Krogen” was rebild and enlarged by King Frederik 2 in 1574-85 in style Nederlandsk-Renaissance and got the name Kronborg Castle.
To help the town of Elsinore to expand economicaly The king Erik 7 builded facilities for the ships on ancher in Elsinore to buy proviants to the ships. This gave birth to wealth and a international atmosphere the next centuries in Elsinore.
Kronborg Castle and Fortress was extended by King Frederik 2 (King of Denmark and Norway 1559-88) from 1574-85 to a brilliant Renaissance Castle with brickwork construction of sandstone and roof of cupper and with 4 bastions, ramparts and moats. After a big fire in 1629 which destroyed big parts of the castle except the church Kong Christian 4 (King of Denmark and Norway 1588-1648) rebuilded it to what you see today.
The outer defence line with moat and rampart builded by King Christian 5 in 1690 to protect against invasion. View to the west wing of Kronborg Castle. The bridge at right leads to Württembergs Ravelin and the main entrance: “Kronværksporten”. Photo: 13. october 2011 by Erik K Abrahamsen.

The outer secondary rainbow is made of light which is refracted 2 times in the water drops in the atmosphere and produce colors opposite from outside of the circle: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
