Photon vs. Quark

The photon is a type of elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation such as light, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force (even when static via virtual particles). A quark is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter.
