It can take up to 200,000 years to reach the surface
To take core samples of the lunar surface.
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!

The reason why the surface of the sun is colder than the sun's core is because the surface is father from the core of the sun.As you get deeper and closer to the sun's core,it gets hotter and hotter because your getting closer to the sun's core which is 15,000,000 F and 13,000,000 C
from silicon to iron, about a day.
From the core, photons take about a million years to reach the surface. From there, they are free to travel and only take just over 8 minutes to reach the Earth.
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.
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.
The core of the sun does not produce any sunlight, the surface of the sun does.Photons are produced in the core as gamma rays at a temperature of about 15 million Kelvin, being absorbed and reemitted repeatedly by atoms, cooling along the way, take from 10,000 years to 170,000 years to reach the surface as visible light at a temperature of about 4000 Kelvin to 6000 Kelvin. As the reemitted photon is usually not the same energy as the one absorbed by the atom (usually lower energy and thus cooler), it is reasonable to assume it is actually a different photon (although being bosons photons are all identical and indistinguishable).Once emitted on the surface of the sun photons that arrive on earth as sunlight take only 8 minutes to complete this final trip.

Sunlight, in the form of photons.
it would take you 300 days to dig all the way down to the core
if you went by a plane travelling at 250 mph it would 2hours and 30 minutes.
