Radiance

When you have established a focus on your breath imagine yourself to be a slab of butter on a window ledge in the warm summer sun. As the light, warmth, and radiance penetrate you, feel yourself melt away.

In this paragragh, I'm wondering what's the difference between light and radiance.

Thanks in advance!

mariott what's the difference between light and radiance From a scientific point of view, they're just different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Actually, "radiance" is the whole sum of the energy being radiated by the sun. "Warmth" results when infrared radiation is absorbed by an object.
