The answer is; Light does not have mass or volume

Mass and volume are properties of matter. Light has negligible mass and does not have a definite volume. It is, however, important to note that quantum physics have revealed that light has duality properties- meaning it behaves with like a wave and like matter. photons too are known to have energy. Energy, according to Einstein is calculated by mass of a body, multiplied by the speed of light squared.
