The distance from the Earth to the Sun varies because the Earth's orbit about the Sun is elliptical.At it's closest, the distance is 91,402,000 miles and it's farthest distance it is 94,512,000 miles.This gives an average distance of 92,957,000 miles. Light travels at 186,282 miles per second. Dividing the average distance by the speed of light gives 499.01225 seconds which is 8.3168708 minutes.
That depends on where it's coming from. Just like any other voyage from one place
to another, a longer trip takes more time.
If the light is coming from the moon, it takes about 1.27 seconds.
From Mars, when it's as close as it can get . . . 41/2 minutes.
From the sun . . . . . 81/3 minutes
From Pluto, when it's as close as it can get . . . 51/3 hours
From the next nearest star past the sun . . . . . 4.3 years.
From the nearest galaxy outside the Milky Way . . . . . 2,540,000 years.
From the farthest objects that
astronomers have been able to detect so far . . . . . 14,000,000,000 years.
On the average during the year, about 8minutes 19seconds.

The light takes about 640 years to reach Earth, as Betelgeuse (a red supergiant star) is about 640 light years from Earth.
6,300 years
8 min.
approximately 3 seconds.
8 minutes
Easy answer: it would take 72 years.
It will take 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth. The actual heat of the sun does not reach all the way out to Earth. The warmth on Earth comes from the conversion of light energy to heat energy.
