If gravity only attracts mass and if light does not have mass why does it appear to bend when passing a planet?

Question Posted / Ranjeet Kumar Nikhil

Answer Posted / Ranjeet Kumar Nikhil

Light does indeed appear to bend due to the effect known as gravitational lensing. Although light has no mass, it can be affected by the curvature of space-time caused by massive objects like planets according to Einstein's theory of general relativity.
