%0 Journal Article %T How long does it take for heat to flow through the sun? %A G. Fiorentini %A B. Ricci %J Physics %D 1997 %I arXiv %X This question, which often comes in when discussing solar neutrinos, is not clearly analysed in any textbook, to our knowledge. In this note we give a simple estimate of the flow time, also reminding its (ir)relevance to the solar neutrino problem. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9702133v1
