Why Sunlight Takes So Long? Energy needs 1,70,000 years to escape; random walk in solar plasma

It takes approximately 170,000 years for sunlight to emerge from the Sun’s core. As high-energy radiation navigates the dense solar plasma, photons engage in a chaotic process, consistently absorbing and re-emitting energy. This slow diffusion contrasts sharply with the rapid speed of light in space, resulting in Earth only receiving light that has transformed significantly from its initial state within the Sun.
