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 matter in the way. A lot of matter, all bouncing around chaotically.

If it’s rush hour in the city it might take me two hours to go just 5 miles. But if I’m in the country I’ll go 70 miles in half that time because there’s nothing stopping me.
