Ok, I don't want no equations and stuff please.
When light travels through a medium the photons are absorbed by atoms in the medium and then a photon is given off by the atom of similar energy, etc, this is correct?
If this is so does that mean when I look out the window that I'm not actually seeing the light given off by the sun but light from the window, it's new light?
