Photons do travel in a straight path. To a person observing the photons though they will appear to be curved because of the gravitational field.

What color are most of the photons that leave the Sun's surface?
The surface temperature of the sun is roughly 5,800K, so the color of most of the photons that leave the sun's surface is green.
In what form solar energy leaves the core of the sun?
visible and invisible light
How does the sun affect earths atmosphere?
The Sun sends photons of light particles and they get deflected by Earth's atmosphere
How long does it take a photon to reach the surface of the sun?
About a million years. The reasoning: As energy is produced, photons are emitted and they are free to travel. Unfortunately, there are also billions of other photons doing the same thing. they collide and are deflected, sometimes upwards, downwards, even sideways. There is no straight path. It's a random event, which is why no real true figure is available. It's a bit like being placed in a forest, blindfolded and your hands are tied. As you wander about, you hit a tree and move around it, but another tree is in your way. You have no idea of direction so you just wander around bumping into trees. As you bumble, given enough time, you will eventually exit the forest and freedom, but it takes a long time.
The planets move around the sun in a path called an?
The path around The sun is called a orbit
Zone of the sun where photons walk from atom to atom?
The zone of the sun where photons travel from atom to atom is called the "photosphere". The photosphere is the visible surface of the sun and is composed of ionized gas and photons. Photons are essentially particles of light that travel through the sun\'s atmosphere bouncing off the surrounding gas and dust particles. The photosphere is about 500 km thick and is the layer of the sun that we can see with the naked eye.

Does light traveling in empty space always travel in straight lines?
No'if solar neutinos(what the sun gives off) hit it it can disrupt the lights path
How does heat move through the radiative layer?
Heat travels through the radiative layer of the sun from the core outwards in the form of photons. These photos are so energetic in this confined space that they don't take a straight path outwards, they bounce around inside the sun for hundreds of thousands of years before they finally reach the surface of the sun after which they take only eight minutes to travel the nintey-three million miles to us.
Light moves in a straight path from the Sun to?
All the directions
Is the path we travel around the sun a rotation or revolution?
The path we travel is an orbit. One complete time around that path is a revolution. Rotation is the act of turning on an axis.
Does earth travel around the sun along a path called an axis?
No. The path is called an orbit. The path is in the shape of an ellipse.
What does the sun's rays shine in a straight line?
the travel in straight lines because of the atomsphe
When the earth travel round the sun in its path is?
Its path has the shape of an ellipse. It takes a year for one orbit.
An object is kept in orbit?
The object is moving forward at high speed and tends to travel in a straight line. But the gravitational pull of the Sun causes it to accelerate towards the Sun. The combined effect is that the object's path bends sideways, continuously.
How does thermal energy travel through space from Sun to Venus?
Due to the vacuum of space there is no convection or conduction. Energy is transported by photons from the Sun to Venus (radiation).
Starting with light source describe the path the light must travel to reach your eye?
The light moves from the source in a straight line to an object and then moves into the back of your eye to your retina.
What is earthes orbit?
An orbit is the path a planet takes around the sun. Earth's orbit is an ellipse. It takes the Earth one year to travel along the elliptical path around the sun.
