Energy transport in the Sun
1982, Robert Noyes, The Sun Our Star says
The energy released in (the core) as a gamma ray ... is destined to spend the next 10 million years struggling to the surface. BUT 2002, Freedman and Kauffmann, Universe, says As a result, it takes approximately 170,000 years for energy created at the sun's centre to travel 696,000 km to the solar surface and finally escape as sunlight. Any thoughts on why this has idea changed so radically in 20 years? (Or if either or neither is right?) -- Martin Frey http://www.hadastro.org.uk N 51 02 E 0 47 |
