Photons at their core don't rally experience time because they are traveling like lighing fast.

Also they prob bounce around the sun (trapped by magnetic fields) for longer than they travel to Earth.

Also 2, sometimes starlight hits my eyes. Those poor very well traveled photons. Some might be even a bit red, but I doubt I've actually detected those.

Indeed, photons can take years to get from the sun's core to it's surface
