Question

how long does it take light to travel from the sun to earth? it cannot be measured. about eight days about eight hours about eight minutes

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The average distance from the Sun to the Earth is about 149.6 million kilometers and the speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second. Using the formula $t=\frac{d}{v}$ (where $t$ is time, $d$ is distance, and $v$ is speed), we can calculate the time it takes for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth. The result is around 8 minutes.

Answer:

D. about eight minutes
