Sep 12, 2014 at 14:19 | comment | added | MariusMatutiae | Two answers below are very good. But basically, the reason is the same for which stars do not look pointlike, but have a finite size: any astronomical instrument has a finite resolution, from the worst (SK!!) to the best (VLBI, $10^{-4}$ arcsec), so that any source smaller than the angular resolution appears as large as the angular resolution. And, BTW, solar neutrinos come from the inner 10% of the Sun's mass, which has a radius of a few percent of the total solar radius. | |
