It takes about 100,000 years for a photon to move from the core of the sun to the convection zone. Photons created in the core of the sun have to undergo a random walk through the dense radiative zone before finally reaching the less dense convection zone.
A photon of light emitted from the Sun takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth. This is because the average distance from the Sun to Earth is approximately 93 million miles (150 million kilometers), and light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second). Therefore, once light is generated in the Sun's core, it takes a little over eight minutes to arrive at our planet.
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.
The sun does not orbit itself!
roughly 365.25 days (rounded)
It takes a particle of energy, such as a photon, about 100,000 years to travel from the core of the sun to its surface before being released into space.
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.
It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for a photon to travel from the surface of the sun to 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.
It can take thousands to millions of years for a photon to travel from the core of the Sun to its surface due to the dense interactions and scattering of photons within the Sun's outer layers. Once a photon reaches the surface, it takes only about 8 minutes to travel to Earth.
It takes about 100,000 years for a photon to move from the core of the sun to the convection zone. Photons created in the core of the sun have to undergo a random walk through the dense radiative zone before finally reaching the less dense convection zone.
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.
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!
Escape to the Sun was created in 1972.
