I don't think photons of light escape from the core of the Sun, and I don't think the Sun is made of 71% hydrogen and 27% helium.
I agree that hydrogen and helium are abundant in the Sun's atmosphere and top layer but that doesn't mean the entire Sun is composed mostly of those elements. That leap in logic just doesn't hold up
I know the immediate response will be spectroscopy, but spectroscopy can only measure the outermost layer. It tells us nothing definitive about what lies beneath. The idea that the Sun is simply a giant ball of fire is an oversimplification that most people accept without question.
As for the claim that photons from the Sun's core escape into space that seems physically impossible. Even X-rays and gamma rays cannot travel that far through such dense matter, let alone visible light.
