it takes about 8 minutes for the sunlight to get to the earth.
Light and heat leave the sun at 186,282 miles per second,
and take about 8.3 minutes to reach the earth.
3 to 4 days.
The Sun won't hit the Earth, but the Earth may, and that will be when the world comes to an end. However, if you were referring to sunlight, 7 seconds should do it. distance from sun to earth ~ 150, 000, 000 km=1.5*10^8 km light =3*10^8m/s = 3*10^5km/s so 5*10^2 s ~ 8 mins. 7 seconds=2*10^6 km which is less than distance to moon. sorry to pick at units but a minute is verry diffrent to a second in astronomical terms.
From the time the light photon is generated in the core of the Sun, it may take millions of years to get to the surface. But once it reaches the surface of the Sun, the Earth is only 8 minutes 20 seconds away!
From the time mission control gives the signal for the shuttle to re-enter and return to Earth, it takes about one hour for the whole process. The shuttle flies at 17,000 mph before the wheels hit the Earth.
My teacher told me that long ago Earth hit another planet and a piece of Earth broke off and that piece is now the moon
8 minutes
Approx. 8/9 mins.
The rays from the sun take 8 minutes to hit the earth
Of course sunlight doesn't hit the earth's surface evenly! Countries on the equator or near it receive the most direct sunlight. And of course countries in the artic circle have hardly any! [^-^]
8minutes and 20seconds after it leaves the sun.
Along the equator.
3 to 4 days.
They do it all the time.
Halley's comet hasn't hit Earth yet, and there's no reason to believe it's about to. It swings by at its closest about every 76th year.
The tilt of the earth causes the sun to hit certain areas.
Because the rays of the sun is so hot it will heat any part of the earth witout being hit my direct sunlight
It varies, but the last shuttle mission hit orbit about 12 minutes after launch.
