How much slower is time ticking inside the Sun, compared to the surface, and how can it be calculated?
No, time dilation isn't proportional to mass difference in that way. Just use the following equation from George Jones' link, giving the ratio of a clock at the center to a clock at the surface:Bjarne said:The math shown at the link below is above my head, but i guess the time diviation inside the Sun must be about 300000 times larger inside as inside the Earth (the mass difference between the sun and the Earth) ?

Time deviation inside the Sun refers to the difference in the passage of time between the surface of the Sun and its core. This is due to the intense gravitational pull and high temperatures present in the Sun's core.
The time deviation inside the Sun is estimated to be around 1 second per 100,000 years. This may seem small, but over millions of years, it can have significant effects on the overall measurement of time.
The main cause of time deviation inside the Sun is the gravitational pull of the Sun's massive core. This causes time to slow down due to the strong gravitational force, similar to how time slows down near a black hole.
Scientists can measure time deviation inside the Sun by using highly accurate atomic clocks that are placed on Earth and in space. By comparing the time measurements of these clocks, they can determine the difference caused by the Sun's gravitational pull.
No, the time deviation inside the Sun is too small to have any noticeable effects on our daily lives. However, it is crucial to consider when making precise measurements and calculations in fields such as astrophysics and space exploration.
