Earth is approximately 1.5x10^8 km from the sun. how many minutes does it take to travel from the sun to the earth? the speed of light is 3x10^8 m/sec

Distance of earth from the sun = 1.5 x 10⁸ km

speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

time in minutes = ?

by using the formula,

Distance = velocity x time, we get

time = distance/velocity

time = t = (1.5 x 10⁸) / (3 x 10⁸) = 0.5 seconds

convert 0.5 seconds to minutes = 0.00833333

it takes 0.00833333 minutes to travel from the sun to the earth
