Is daemon thread lighter than normal thread?

I'm new in Java world so at the moment I'm learning about Threads. I've read that daemon thread is described as background task, so I thought that it means it's lighter than the normal thread.

I also read next about daemons on Wikipedia: "A daemon is a type of background process designed to run continually in the background, waiting for event(s) to occur or condition(s) to be met.These processes typically use minimal system resources and perform tasks which require little to no input from the user."
