Depending on the position of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun, (the Earth is closest to the Sun in January and farthest from the Sun in July) it takes about 500 seconds for light to travel from the surface of the Sun to the Earth. It's about 10 second less in January, and about 10 seconds more in July.
So, roughly, 8 1/2 minutes.
