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

From the sun to the earth there is only empty space,
so energie can travel with the speed of light.

Inside the sun core, where the fusion happens, we have a density behond anything you can imagine. A massive 10.000 km thick block of steel is nothing compared to the density inside the suns core.
