Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum of energy, and is transmitted in the form of photons. The photons are generated by the process of nuclear fusion, which fuses hydrogen into helium and gives off huge amounts of energy as a by-product, within the sun (or any star).
The photons radiate away in all directions, and since they have no mass, only energy, they are not retarded by the sun's gravity. Gravity only affects mass. Also because they are massless, they can travel at the speed of light, and reach the Earth in about nine minutes.
One interesting aspect of photons has to do with Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which states that time slows down as one approaches the speed of light, and stops when you get there. In other words, Time does not exist for a photon, and this is why they do not weaken or fade even after journeys of millions of light-years. For the photon, no time passed at all!
What else can I help you with?
What color are most of the photons that leave the Sun's surface?
The majority of photons leaving the Sun's surface are in the visible spectrum, with a peak intensity in the green region. This is why the Sun appears white when viewed from space, as it emits light across all visible wavelengths.
Which planet is 2.7 light-hours from the sun?
The planet Uranus is 2.7 light hours from the sun.
What makes the sun a nuclear light source?
The sun is a nuclear light source because you can see light, right? The sun gives out light energy so you can see in the daylight.
When was The Light of the Sun created?

Does the sun give the stars light?

Does the sun leave a shadow?
No the sun is a sphere, it produces light on all sides
When you see light from the sun how long ago did the light leave the sun?
8 and 1/3 minutes
Why do leave have flat and broad surface?
more the surface area exposed to sun light more will be the rate of photosynthesis
How might you separate a solution of salt water?
You can pour the solution into a tray and set in in sun light and leave it for several minutes.

Do you leave the basking light of a Chinese water dragon on over night?
Yes you should leave the basking light on at night if you have a chilly house the other light acts as the sun in the day and if you leave that on your dragons will never sleep p.s I have one so if have any questions feel free to post anything up and I'll likely be able to give you and answer
Does the sun and moon emit light?
the sun only emit light. not the moon. it will reflect the light of the sun.
It is light in all places that are the sun?
It is indeed light in all places that are hit by the sun. The sun is a tremendous light source.
When was Leave a Light On created?
Leave a Light On was created in 1989-09.
When was Leave Your Light On created?
Leave Your Light On was created in 2005-10.
What episode of Babylon 5 follows the human race to the point where the sun goes nova and humans leave this solar system?
Sleeping in Light
Where does the energy go when the sun leaves the corona?
The question is imfathonable because the sun cannot leave the corona the corona is the center of the sun so the sun therefore cannot leave the sun.
