For light to travel from the sun to earth.
At light speed it would take 20 to 40 minutes going from earth, and 50 minutes going from the sun.
26 years.
At a distance of 56 million kilometers, light requires 3.1 minutes to reach Mars from Earth.
Neptune's average distance from the Sun is 2,795,084,800 miles. Assuming that distance, it would take 637 [Earth] years, 259 [Earth] days, 3 hours, and 36 minutes to travel from the Sun to Neptune at a rate of 500 miles per hour. That is an equivalent of 5,590,169.600 hours of travel time! Sunlight, however, can make the trip in about 4 hours, 10 minutes, and 26 seconds.
It would take about 22.5 minutes.

8 minutes, as that is the time it takes for the light from the sun to travel to the earth.
That depends on your speed. Even at the speed of light it would take you about 8 minutes 20 seconds.
From where ? ? ? From the sun: 12min 40sec From the earth when Mars is closest: 4min 21sec From the earth when Mars is farthest: 20min 59sec
Approx 14 minutes and 20 seconds.
How would the earth travel around the earth?
Think about it: 80miles/hr and there are 60 minutes in an hour. So if you travel 80 miles in 60 minutes, then in half an hour (30 minutes) you would travel 40 miles. In a quarter of an hour (15 minutes) you would travel 20 miles.
You would travel 33.3 miles every four minutes.
If you traveled at the speed of light (a current impossibility), you would travel from Earth to the Sun in an average of 8 minutes. Or would you? I suspect that you would burn up well before the 8 minutes were up.
