Several million years. The Sun's material (primarily ionized hydrogen) is actually an excellent heat insulator. That's why the Sun's surface temperature is only about 6,000 degrees F, while the core temperature is (very roughly) 30 million degrees.How many years does it take for heat generated in the sun's core to reach its outer layer, the photosphere?
936.57 yearsHow many years does it take for heat generated in the sun's core to reach its outer layer, the photosphere?
25 million
It takes well over 200,000 years for the heat from the core of the sun to reach the photosphere. From there it's few minutes to earth.
that can't be answered since no one knows the mass make up of the sun and since different materials react differently to heat dissapation it can't be determined.
It can be hypothosised though (Did I spell that right)
