It's hard to give an exact answer, but it takes a long time. It's estimated that it could take as much as a few hundred thousand years.

How does energy produced in the core of the sun reach the surface how long?
Mainly by radiation - however, the radiation quickly gets absorbed by an atom, and re-emitted, so it takes quite a while to reach the surface. In the outer part of the Sun, the energy also gets transported through convection.
How do xenoliths and xenocrysts reach the surface?
They usually reach Earth's surface when they are entrained (carried along with) within molten material from depth that is erupted onto the earth's surface.
Is it true that only three or four meteorites reach earths surface each year?
No it is not true. Many, many meteorites reach the earth's surface.
What is openings in Earth's crust that allows magma to reach the surface called?
The opening of the crust where magma is allowed to reach to the surface is called a fault line.
How does the oestrogen produced in the ovary reach the uterus?
Via the bloodstream.
How long does it take light from the center of the sun to reach earth?
81/3 minutes from the sun's surface, but possibly thousands of yearsto reach the sun's surface from its center.
How many hours it to take for the Sun to reach Earth's Surface?
The Sun doesn't reach Earth's surface; the Sun stays right where it is, in the center of our Solar System.The Sun's light takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth (150 million km. / 300,000 km/second).The Sun doesn't reach Earth's surface; the Sun stays right where it is, in the center of our Solar System.The Sun's light takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth (150 million km. / 300,000 km/second).The Sun doesn't reach Earth's surface; the Sun stays right where it is, in the center of our Solar System.The Sun's light takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth (150 million km. / 300,000 km/second).The Sun doesn't reach Earth's surface; the Sun stays right where it is, in the center of our Solar System.The Sun's light takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth (150 million km. / 300,000 km/second).
How Deep Would You HAve To Drill To Reach The Center Of Earth?
You would have to drill about 5,100 kilometers below the surface.
How long does the energy produced in a star take to reach the earth?
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.
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.

Name and describe the regions in the interior of the Sun?
the regions are, in order from surface to center: the surface, which is 10,000 degrees F. then there is the convection zone, then the radiation zone. Finally, we reach the core which is 27,000,000 degrees F.
Why do meteorites reach the surface of the Moon then the surface of the Earth?
More reach the surface of the moon because there is no atmosphere to heat and burn them up.
How was the Solar neutrino problem solved?
The problem was that the Sun should output a lot more electron neutrinos then were measured. This meant that the model describing the interior of the Sun would be wrong, but it was working very well in predicting other things. It was finally solved when something called neutrino oscillation was discovered. It turned out that (this might be a bit technical) the interaction state of a neutrino was not equal to its mass or propagation state. In short, this meant that electron neutrino's could become muon or tau neutrino's after a while (and change back again after that). After this people began looking for muon and tau neutrinos coming from the Sun and together with the electron neutrino number they added up to the amount the Solar model predicted. The problem was thus solved; the Sun DOES output more electron neutrino's but some of these change into muon or tau neutrinos before they reach the Earth, and since we were initially only looking for electron neutrinos we missed some.

Which wave type is formed when the waves reach the Earths surface?
L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.
