High enough to violate the laws of physics.
SSDD can explain further.
Going from cooler to warmer, as you propose, clearly violates Newton's Second Law
Photons don't measure the temperature of their surroundings before "deciding to be emitted".
That would violate the laws of physics.
If what you say is true, then photons have an only a 50% probability of radiating away from the Sun.
The high-energy photons (gamma rays) released in fusion reactions take indirect paths to the Sun's surface. According to current models, random scattering from free electrons in the solar radiative zone (the zone within 75% of the solar radius, where heat transfer is by radiation) sets the photon diffusion time scale (or "photon travel time") from the core to the outer edge of the radiative zone at about 170,000 years. From there they cross into the convective zone (the remaining 25% of distance from the Sun's center), where the dominant transfer process changes to convection, and the speed at which heat moves outward becomes considerably faster.[12]

What point were you trying to make?
Atmosphere can significantly slow the escape of photons to space.
