how do photons escape the gravity of the sun?

Question

And do any other particles escape? And how?

In: Chemistry

Answer 1

the sun does not have enough mass to trap photons. even stars that do, can’t because they are not dense enough. their mass is too spread out until they collapse into black holes and form an event horizon. the sun, and all stars, are constantly emitting charged particles and we call that the solar wind. the sun is an explosion in process, and that gives particles enough energy (probably with magnetic field help) to escape the suns gravity.
