Mercury Is 0.000131 lightyears away from earth
It takes approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to travel 93 million miles from the sun to Earth.
Betelgeuse is approximately 642.5 light years away from Earth.
Earth is 8.3 light-minues from the sun. This is straight from my earth Science teachers lecturer notes.
I can't give you the answer in kilometres, but Wolf 359 is 7.78 lightyears from Earth
Mercury Is 0.000131 lightyears away from earth
It take's about eight minutes for sun to reach earth
It takes approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to travel 93 million miles from the sun to Earth.
Betelgeuse is approximately 642.5 light years away from Earth.
With the average distance or "mean" distance from the Earth to the sun set at approximately 93,000,000 miles, and the speed of light at about 186,000 miles per second; the time in seconds it takes sunlight to reach the earth is appoximately "500 seconds". Most people refer to the time in minutes which would be about 8.333333 minutes.
In terms of the speed of light, the distance between the Earth and Sun is81/3 light minutes,or about 0.00001585 light-year.
Light travels 186,282.4 miles per second in the vacuum of space. At that speed, it takes the light from the sun about 8 minutes and 18 seconds to reach Earth.
Earth is 8.3 light-minues from the sun. This is straight from my earth Science teachers lecturer notes.
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 kilometers per second. It takes sunlight about 13 minutes to reach Mars. It takes about 81/2 minutes to reach Earth.
Well the Moon is 1 light second away from earth ( meaning if you were moving at the speed of light you would reach and pass the moon in 1 second ) and the Sun is about 8 light minutes away from us. Jupiter is maybe 4 light minutes?
Earth gets 24 hours of sunlight each day. There is always 50% of the Earth illuminated by the sun.
It takes sunlight about 27 years to reach Vega.
