How long does it take a particle of energy to escape the sun?
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.
How long does it take for sunlight to travel from the sun to Earth?
It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to travel from the sun to Earth.
How long does it take for sunlight to travel from the sun to the earth?
It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to travel from the sun to the earth.
How long would it take for a signal to travel from a star located 100 light years away to reach Earth in Earth years?
It would take 100 Earth years for a signal to travel from a star located 100 light years away to reach Earth.
How do radio waves travel through the atmosphere and reach our devices?
Radio waves travel through the atmosphere by being transmitted from a radio station's antenna. These waves travel in a straight line until they encounter an obstacle, such as the Earth's surface or a building. They can also be reflected off the ionosphere, a layer of charged particles in the Earth's atmosphere, which allows them to travel long distances. Once the radio waves reach our devices, such as radios or cell phones, they are converted back into sound or data that we can hear or see.
How long does it take Photons at the core to the surface?
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.
How long does it take a particle of energy to escape the sun?
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.
How long does it take for 1 photon of light to leave the Sun?
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.
How long does a photon take to escape the sun?
A photon produced in the core of the Sun can take an extremely long time to reach the surface, often estimated to be anywhere from thousands to millions of years. This lengthy duration is due to the dense and turbulent nature of the Sun's interior, where photons undergo countless scattering events before they can finally escape into space. However, once a photon reaches the surface, it travels to Earth in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds at the speed of light.
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.
How long does it take a photon of light to reach Earth from the centre of the Sun?
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.
How long does it take for energy to get from the core to the surface 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.
How long does it take to travel to from earth to the earth's moons?
The Apollo spacecraft took 3 days to travel from the Earth to the moon.
Hiw long does it take for a light beam from the sun to hit the earth?
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!
How long does it take to travel to Ceres from earth?
It takes approximately 23 years to travel from Earth to Ceres.
How long has the surface on earth been changing?
for as long as it has had continents
If an atomic bomb were detonated on the surface of the Moon how long would it be until the explosion is heard on Earth?
The explosion would never be heard on Earth. Sound cannot travel through the near-vacuum of space.
