Why Do Oceans Glitter Like Diamonds Under the Sun?

Imagine you're playing with a bucket of water and sunlight. When the sun shines on the ocean, it hits tiny bits of water like little mirrors all over the surface, these are called waves. Each wave acts like a mirror that reflects the light back to your eyes, making the ocean look like it’s covered in diamonds or glitter! Sometimes you see more sparkles because there are more waves reflecting the sunlight at once.
