Question

·How long does it take for the Sun's light to reach us?

Answer 1

Answer 2

About 8 minutes and 20 seconds!

Answer 3

Around 8.3 minutes.

Answer 4

It's around 8 minutes.

Answer 5

The particles that are thrown off by the Sun that give us its light and warmth only take eight minutes to arrive to the Earth because they are traveling at the speed of light.

Answer 6

The Sun is roughly 93 million miles away from Earth.  Light travels at 186,282 miles per second.  After doing the math, it takes the light from the Sun about 8.3 minutes to reach Earth.

Answer 7

8 minutes

Answer 8

8.3min

Answer 9

The sun's light takes about 8 minutes to reach the Earth after it has been emitted from the sun's surface. The time it takes for light to reach planets in our Solar System (not the Milky Way, which is our galaxy) varies from about 3 minutes for Mercury, to about 5.3 hours for Pluto. There is nothing out in space to prevent the sun's light from going infinitely far, in principle. In practice, the sun is only 4.5 billion years old, so its light can only extend 4.5 billion light years away from us right now. But there's nothing to stop that light from expanding outwards forever, as time goes on. The sun's radius is about 100 times that of the Earth, meaning that about 1.12 million Earths could fit inside it, as could about 930 Jupiters
