Are there photons in the dark?

Photon is not actually the name of brightness or packet of energy which happen in visible region. Even in darkness you will have also photons but in invisible region, due to the presence of matter.

Do stars have photons?

All stars are just vast balls of hot plasma. These photons of energy are trapped inside the star and have to get out. Over a journey that can take more than 100,000 years, the photons are continuously emitted and then absorbed by atoms in the Sun. Each of these jumps can cause the photon to lose energy.

Is the inside of the Sun dark?

i.e. Even just considered at visible wavelengths, the interior of the Sun is about 40,000 times brighter than the photosphere.

Is there always light in the dark?

“There is always light in the midst of the Darkness, even if it’s only a pinpoint in the distance. And when it seems as if there isn’t, it’s just an illusion. Remember that you’re growing through it and towards the light.

Do stars give off their own light?

Stars make their own light, just like our sun (the sun is a star — the closest star to Earth). But the stars are very, very far away from our solar system so they appear to be very tiny to us, even though up close they are large. They reflect the light of the sun in the same way our moon reflects sunlight.

How are photons created in stars?

Photons are produced from the kinetic energy of particles within the stars. Not the only source of light is the kinetic energy of particles. Also changes of energystates within an atom, some fusion processes, enzymatic reactions, biological processes and other things produce light.

What is inside Venus?

The interior of Venus is made of a metallic iron core that’s roughly 2,400 miles (6,000 km) wide. Venus’ molten rocky mantle is roughly 1,200 miles (3,000 km) thick. Venus’ crust is mostly basalt, and is estimated to be 6 to 12 miles (10 to 20 km) thick, on average. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system.

Can we see inside the Sun?

We can’t see inside the Sun in ordinary visible light directly, because gas in the photosphere is so dense that it absorbs and scatters all photons coming from below. However, we can use visible light to probe the solar interior indirectly, by looking at very subtle pulsations of the photosphere.

Do stars really produce that many photons?

The answer is simple: Yes, stars really do produce that many photons. This calculation is a solid (though very rough) approximation that a star the size of the sun might emit about $10^{45}$ visible photons per second (1 followed by 45 zeros, a billion billion billion billion billion photons).

Why can’t we see stars that are far away?

You can only see the stars that have a lot of photons reaching your eye. If a star were so far away that photons were reaching your eyes only occasionally then the star would be too dim for you to see in in the first place. Even if you could see the photons, the star would appear to blink.

Is the light from a star a hail of photons?

The light from the star is not a hail of photons but instead the star is transferring energy to the photon quantum field and this energy spreads out radially and evenly.

What happens when a photon hits a neutron star?

When photons are incident on a neutron star’s surface, some of them are scattered and some of them are absorbed. Though there is a finite chance of a photon not interacting with a neutron, since a neutron star is a very dense object, the photon will interact with a neutron at some point.
