What is LDR sensor?

Light sensor, also known as Photo resistor is a type of resistor whose resistance varies depending on the light intensity. Hence it’s also called as Light Dependent Resistor (LDR). 

Resistance of the Light sensor increases as the amount of light falling on it increases. LDRs are very useful in many electronic circuits, especially in alarms, switching devices, clocks, street lights and more.
