    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.
