Particle Being "absorbed"
I've heard this many times before, but what does it mean when a particle is "absorbed"? Does it mean its energy is used up or is it actually absorbed. For instance, I've heard that on the way out of the core of the Sun, a photon is absorbed by a particle multiple times and re-emitted. So, also, what does it mean that a particle is "re-emitted"?
