1. Actual lifetime of sunlight
The sunlight takes around 10,000 to 170,000 years for the process of photon travel from the central part of the Sun to the surface of the Sun. So, the light reaching the earth's surface approximately includes the lifespan of a minimum of above 10,000 years to a maximum of 170, 000 years.
