To check the validity of the theory of nonextensive statistical mechanics, we have investigated the nonextensive degree of the solar interior and have tried to find the experimental evidence by helioseismological measurements that q is different from unity. We are able to derive a parameter for providing a lower limit to the nonextensive degree inside the sun that can be uniquely determined by the solar sound speeds measured by helioseismology. After calculating the parameter by using the solar sound speeds, we get the lower limit of(1-q)not less than 0.1902 for all solar radii between 0.15R(sun) and 0.95R(sun) and (1-q)approximately equal to 0.4 for the out layers extending from 0.75R(sun)to 0.95R(sun).Thus, the result that the nonextensive parameter q is significantly different from unity has received the support by the experiment measurements for the solar sound speeds in the helioseismology.
