And do any other particles escape? And how?
In: Chemistry
At risk of being a bit cheeky:
“With very little issue”.
The sun has by far too little gravity to affect photons themselves in any significant way in the first place. It’s very clearly not a black hole. They just radiate out, no issue.
Same really goes for sufficiently fast particles, they have no trouble flying away from the Sun, and the strong magnetic fields on the Sun’s surface accelerate charged particles, like electrons and protons, well beyond “sufficiently fast”.
