Answer:
8.33 minutes
Explanation:
Distance between Earth and Sun = 1.5×10¹¹ m
Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s
Time = Distance / Speed
[tex]\text{Time taken}=\frac{1.5\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken}=500\ seconds[/tex]
[tex]500\ seconds=\frac{500}{60}=8.33\ minutes[/tex]
∴ Time it takes for sunlight to reach the Earth is 8.33 minutes.
