The journey of light from the Sun’s core to the sun's surface takes up to 1 million years and then only takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth.

Did you know? The journey of light from the Sun’s core to Earth is one of the most fascinating facts in science!

Inside the Sun’s core, nuclear fusion creates energy in the form of photons. But here’s the shocking part – these photons take up to 1 million years to escape from the Sun’s dense layers and finally reach its surface.

Once free, it only takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds for that sunlight to travel through the vacuum of space and reach our planet – giving us warmth, life, and energy.

This fact shows how powerful yet mysterious our Sun truly is – a massive nuclear furnace that keeps Earth alive.

Next time you feel the Sun’s rays, remember – the light shining on you today may have started its journey a million years ago!
