The speed of light (and all other electromagnetic radiation) is 186,282 miles per second. The average distance from the sun to the earth is 93,000,000 miles. The time needed for light to travel this distance is (93,000,000 / 186,282) = 499 seconds = 8 and 1/3 minutes.
Earth's average distance from the sun = 93,000,000 miles
Speed of light = 186,282 miles per second
1 minute = 60 seconds
Time = (distance) / (speed) = (93,000,000 / 186,282) / 60 = 8.321 minutes (rounded)
(93,000,000 miles from the sun) divided by (186,000 miles per second) = 500 seconds = 8 and 1/3 minutes
It takes about 81/3 minutes for the sun's light to reach us on earth.
Approximately 8 minutes.
About 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
The light takes about 640 years to reach Earth, as Betelgeuse (a red supergiant star) is about 640 light years from Earth.

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.
