Scientists say its about 8 minutes. Light travels roughly 93 million miles to reach the earth from the sun. It takes 8.33 minutes for it to travel this distance.
Because red light is the longest wavelength and is the only light that can travel from the sun to Jupiter and back to earth for us on earth to see.
The Galactic centre is about 27,000 light years from us.
The nearest star to us is the SUN. It takes light about 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to Eart. #The next nearest star is Alpha Centurii. Light takes about 4.5 years to travel from this star to Earth.
The sun is not light years away but light minutes and the sun is 8 (rounded) light minutes away from us. But if you really want to know how far away the sun is from us in light years it is 0.000015 of a light year away from us.
A light year is a measure of how far light can travel in one year. It is a phenomenal distance, and is used to describe how far away stars are from us.
Sunlight takes 8.4 minutes to travel 93 million miles to Earth. It would take us that long to reach the Sun at light speed.
Not counting the Sun, the next nearest star is 4.3 light years from us.
Proxima Centauri is 4.2 light years away, so it would take 4.2 years for light from that star to reach us.
Well, the answer to the question that you asked is yes. Any light will travel faster than the sun travels.But if the question that you meant to ask is "Does the light of the star Betelgeuse travel faster than The Sun's light?" then no.All light travels at the same speed in a vacuum. (about 3*108 m/s) The sun's light takes about 8 minutes to reach us, so when you see the sun, you are actually seeing how it was 8 minutes ago. When you see the star Betelgeuse, you see it how it was 641.8 years ago, because it is 641.8 light years away.
The sun shines on us, and light is e-m waves.
Regulus is about 77 light years distant from earth.There are no other stars between the sun and earth.The nearest star to earth is about 278,000 timesas far from us as the sun is.Regulus is about 17 times as far from us as that star is.
About 186,000 miles per hour or 300,000 kilometers per hour.
