    Riddle (I think it's something to do with chemistry)
    These are clues to a riddle:

    Clue 1: Without nuclear reactions, it would not exist on Earth.

    Clue 2: It can be seen but not touched.

    I will see if there are more clues later. Thanks.:)

    YAY! For answers, but it says it wouldn't exist on Earth, so it must be on Earth now. (?)

    The sun rise (or sun set) - you can't touch it, and the light from the sun depends on nuclear reactions.

    Nuclear reactions release energy as light, heat, sound and radioactive energies right? Then I suppose that light, which can be seen, contrary to others is the solution.

    Its pretty the same thing as ebaines said but perhaps the riddle wouldn't accept the sun rise/set because it is not on the Earth but can be SEEN from Earth.

    Hope that's the solution.

    Here's another guess - a rainbow. Again, the light comes from the sun, and you certainly can't touch a rainbow.
