In general light travels at an incredible speed ie 300,000 km per second. This is the speed of light in vacuum and in denser medium it will be a little bit reduced. In glass medium it will become 200,000 km per second.

Any way in between sun and the earth the major part of the distance between them will be vacuum and the remaining is occupied by less dense air. So the speed of sun's light would be the same as 300,000 km per second.

The amount of time it takes for sunlight to travel from the sun to earth is 8 minutes hense the term faster than the speed of light

Sorry friend, it does not mean that light travels at faster rate. The distance between the earth and sun will be that quantity which would be covered in 500 seconds by the light with speed of 300,000 km per second.
