Sometimes 'ray' symbolizes hope or the start of something positive.

Metaphorical Use

'Ray' usually suggests something good or pleasant, such as sunlight.

Use 'ray' to describe how light appears visibly streaming from a source.

Visual Description

'Ray' in zoology often refers to marine creatures with unique flat shapes.

Distinctive Feature

There are many types of rays, like manta rays or stingrays; be specific if known.

Be Specific

When talking about rays in zoology, it's typically in the context of marine life.

Aquatic Contexts

Mention of 'ray' in physics suggests caution due to potential harm from radiation.

Safety Precaution

In physics, 'ray' is often associated with medical imaging and diagnosis.

Medical Connotation

Use 'ray' in technical or scientific discussions, not in everyday conversation.

Technical Jargon

As a verb, 'ray' means something is emitting, like light or heat, from itself.

Emission Concept

Using 'ray' as a verb is less common; 'emit' or 'radiate' are often preferred.

 photons from the sun's rays hit the surface of a panel, and electrons are released to get an electric current going. Solar panels can use all types of irradiance, while solar towers can only use direct irradiance, and this is where clouds become important because depending on their type and location relative to the sun,

 they're less irritating than carbon-based chemical sunscreens. These mineral-based sunscreens are preferential for the environment, too. If you plan on catching rays while splashing in a river or the ocean, keep in mind that carbon-based chemical sunscreens can harm marine life. Take coral reefs, for example.

 These cosmic rays, most of which are protons, interact violently with the matter and radiation around them, producing high-energy neutrinos, which propagate out like cosmic breadcrumbs that can tell us about the locations and interiors of the universe's most powerful cosmic engines.

Why neutrinos matter -...

 that would measure everything from temperature to cosmic rays. You could deploy thousands of them for the cost of a single space shuttle mission, exponentially increasing the amount of data we could collect about the universe. And they're individually expendable,

 Here's why. Photons are produced by the nuclear reactions deep in the core of our Sun. As the photons flow out of the core, they interact with matter and lose energy, becoming longer wavelength forms of light. They start out as gamma rays in the core,
