300000 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 365 x 8 = 75686400000000 kilometers
8 light years = 75685843780650 kilometers
2.932*10-16 light years * 299,792.458 km = .000000087899148686 km = 8.789*10-8 km ■
About 8 light-minutes.
8 billion light years means that the light has taken 8 billion years to reach you. That's how far into the past you are seeing.
299792.458 km/s x 480 s ≈ 143,900,000 km
8 km = 4.97096 mi.
8 kilometers = 8,000 meters
8 kilometers = 8,000 meters
8,000 meters = 8 kilometers
The sun is not light years away but light minutes and the sun is 8 (rounded) light minutes away from us. But if you really want to know how far away the sun is from us in light years it is 0.000015 of a light year away from us.
Wrong!!!!! The Sun is 1 A.U. ( Astronomic Unit) from Earth. Because of the immensity of space, distances are calculated in 'A.U.' or 'Light Years'. Photons of Light from the Sun takes approximately 8 minutes to reach Earth.
that makes no sense...
