Our Light makes it from the giant fusion explosion to us on the mud ball in 8 minutes. And 5.5 hours to the poor butt of a joke that is Pluto. So … 4 years you say…
Actually, it takes light between 10,000 to 170,000 years to reach the surface of the sun. It bounces around in there for a long time since all the fusion actually happens in the core.
Yeah my time measurements were from the edge of explosion to here (on the dirt ball). As the interior time measurement is well outside understandable time frames. Which is what my comment was trying to frame.
Approximately 4 light-years, that’s how I’ve always heard that distance described.
Now I am not sure the distance light travels in one year is easier to grasp, but at least it’s a single digit.

You take that back!
