Estimating Photon Escape Time from Center of Sun

[swickey]

I have a question that I can't figure out. In the Sun, it takes several hundred thousand years for a photon released in the core to reach the surface. Use the speed of light and the radius of the sun to estimate the escape time for a photon from the center of the sun if there were no interaction.

The suns radius is 696,000km and light travels at 3 x10c/s...this is where I get lost. Can anyone help me?

Do you know the equation for relating distance, speed, and time?

 

[_Mayday_]

$$S=\frac{D}{T}$$

It's just a case of plugging the numbers into the equation.Russ would this qualify as a homework question?
