Just as fast as light travels anywhere else; the speed of light in a vacuum is constant - about 300,000 kilometers per second. If you refer to the time, you can divide the distance (about 150 million kilometers) by the speed; after converting to minutes, in this case the result is about 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
