How long does it take a photon of light to reach Earth from the centre of the Sun?
It takes a long time to get to the surface of the Sun. I have read various estimates, but I think, on average, it takes about 40,000 years. It only takes a few minutes to reach Earth from the Sun's surface. It takes over a million years because of size, density and atomic reactions. Then only eight and a third minutes to reach the Earth.
How long does it take for the sun to complete one orbit around the sun?
The sun does not orbit itself!
Does a daisy grow at a faster rate in the shade or in the sun?
It grows faster in the Photon Rich Sunlight.
Can sun escape from a black hole?
No
How long does it take the earth to how long does it take revolve the Sun one. Time?
roughly 365.25 days (rounded)
How long does it take for energy to get from the core to the surface of the sun?
A photon of light takes about a million years to escape from the Sun. This is because, as the photon makes a random move, it will hit another photon, and move off in another direction. Because of the density, and the amount of other photons, it can take this amount of time to reach the surface of the Sun. Once free of the Sun, the photon is unaffected and can "stream" out at the speed of light to wherever it wants to go.
Why does energy take so long to reach the surface of the sun?
Photons keep getting absorbed by other particle and then released in a completely random direction. This make the photon take a long time to finally pop out of the sun.
Hiw long does it take for a light beam from the sun to hit the earth?
From the time the light photon is generated in the core of the Sun, it may take millions of years to get to the surface. But once it reaches the surface of the Sun, the Earth is only 8 minutes 20 seconds away!
How long does it take for 1 photon of light to leave the Sun?
It is believed that a photon of light takes about a million years to travel from the centre of the Sun to the Photosphere. This is because the gamma rays (high-energy photons) released in fusion reactions are absorbed in only a few millimeters of solar plasma and then re-emitted again in random direction and at slightly lower energy.
When was Escape to the Sun created?
Escape to the Sun was created in 1972.
How long does it take to get to the sun from earth?
it take long time

How long does it take for one orbit of the sun?
How long does it take for Earth to orbit the Sun? One year, or 365.25636042 days.
What will reach earth first a high energy photon or a neutrino?
A photon is a massless "particle" of light, and travels at the speed of light. Neutrinos actually have some negligible mass, but because the mass is not zero, they cannot travel at the speed of light. So starting from the same point, and ignoring any obstructions, a photon will arrive first.However, there are often obstructions. Coming from the center of the Sun, any photon would be certain to be absorbed by some atom within the Sun and then re-radiated a very great number of times before that packet of energy could reach the Sun's surface and be radiated into space. A neutrino, on the other hand, interacts with solid matter only very weakly. A neutrino generated within the Sun's core would probably pass directly through the mass of the Sun and escape into free space at nearly the speed of light.
What forms when charged particles from the sun cause gases in the atmosphere to glow?
photon
