[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16027272, member: 67454"] On average. Some take take longer. Some less. The range I have heard is 1,100 years to 11 million years. The thing is a photon in the core can only travel about a 3/8ths of an inch before it encounters another particle, and is absorbed by the particle. When the photon is re-emitted, it can be emitted in any direction, and that can be back in to the core, as well as out from it. Some phsyicists call it the "random walk," some call it the "drunkard's walk." So yes, on average what we see from the sun, today, is the result of something that happened long, long, ago. [/QUOTE]
