why does the heat from the core of the sun takes more than a 1000 years to reach its surface but the heat from the sun to our planet only takes about 8 minutes.

Question

I’m unsure if the 1000 years time is true or not, I just saw a poster of it at an elementary school.

Answer 1

There’s a massive star in-between the core of the sun and its surface, and nothing in-between the surface and us.
