When the sun shines on the ocean, it's like a big light show. The waves act like little mirrors that catch the sunlight and send it bouncing back to our eyes. That's why the ocean looks like it’s glittering! It's just the way the water moves and reflects the light. Imagine you're playing with a puddle in the sun, every ripple makes tiny flashes of light, and that's exactly what happens on a bigger scale in the sea.
Examples
- Ripples on a lake make it look sparkly like confetti.
- The sea under the sun looks like someone scattered glitter across its surface.
