... Most of the Sun’s hydrogen is too far from the core and too cool to participate in fusion reactions. Photons in the Sun travel such short distances that many absorptions and reemissions must occur before radiative diffusion can carry the Sun’s energy to the surface. It is at that distance from the c ...
