What Ray is asking is about the possibility that the gravitational acceleration of the Sun's hot core might be different from that of a cold object, for relativistic reasons. I would yield to current experts on general relativity to analyze that one.
Thanks for the explanation; I was guilty of quickly scanning what Ray wrote. I went back and read what he wrote again and I am beginning to see what Ray is talking about. I really underestimated what he was saying.
I’ll sit back and watch this one. Thanks Hornblower.
