Can light from the sun cause the paper to change color?

• Yes. Light from the sun can pull energy out of the paper, causing it to change color

• Yes. The paper can take in energy from the light, causing it to change color.

• No. Light is not a physical thing, so it cannot change physical things like paper.

• No. Light can only change things by warming them up, so it cannot cause the paper to change color.
