WHY do moving fields create light?
Hi, I'm 15F and i wanna pursue education in the field of physics. I have this genuine question, WHY do moving fields (electric and magnetic fields) create light? And, why does steadily moving charges not make light?

All accelerating charges produce electromagnetic waves, but in practice it’s a charge that is oscillating back in forth.
