The energy of the Sun is produced by the conversion of hydrogen into helium. For each hydrogen atom converted, one neutrino is produced. These neutrinos are detected, but less than the expected number. See also Neutrino; Solar neutrinos.
The material at the center of the Sun is so dense that a few millimeters are opaque, so the photons created by nuclear reactions are continually absorbed and reemitted and thus make their way to the surface by a random walk. The atoms in the center of the Sun are entirely stripped of their electrons by the high temperatures, and most of the absorption is by continuum processes, such as the scattering of light by electrons. Because there are so many absorption and emission processes along the way, it can take as long as a million years to complete the random walk to the surface.
