Abstract

The sun, a star which consists a luminous spheroid of plasma compacted together by its gravity. When light beam passes it, the curvature of gravitational field and gravitational lensing will give rise to a bending light path, base on the theoretical foundation provided by general relativity. Also, the plasma plays a role, it performs a medium and gives a refractive index in coronal layer, and then the speed of light is slowed. According to these three reasons, time delay happens near sun.
