minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish37•1 month agoIt can definitely take millions of years for photons to leave a star due to dense protons causing collisions. https://futurism.com/photons-million-year-journey-center-sun
minus-squarestebolinkfedilinkEnglish6•1 month agoI get what you’re saying but taking a long time is not the same as moving slowly
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish19•1 month agoSlowly making their way does not equal moving slowly. It describes the time it takes to exit the sun, not the speed of the particle.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoThey’re also rapidly making their way and taking a long time.

minus-square@pyrelinkEnglish1•1 month agoI know I was being pedantic about your comment because I thought it was kinda funny interpreting it out of context.

fair enough
They’re also rapidly making their way and taking a long time.
And cold wind is when slow-moving air hits you at a fast speed.
v = d / t, so technically it is.
but the distance the photon travels is very large, just in random directions
