Light travels at about 300,000 metres per second. The time taken for that light to reach us would depend on the stars distance.
Light travels through space at 299,792,458 meters per second ... cleverly labeled the "speed of light" ... regardless of where it originates or what direction it takes.
500 light seconds on my meter.
The Sun doesn't reach Earth's surface; the Sun stays right where it is, in the center of our Solar System.The Sun's light takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth (150 million km. / 300,000 km/second).The Sun doesn't reach Earth's surface; the Sun stays right where it is, in the center of our Solar System.The Sun's light takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth (150 million km. / 300,000 km/second).The Sun doesn't reach Earth's surface; the Sun stays right where it is, in the center of our Solar System.The Sun's light takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth (150 million km. / 300,000 km/second).The Sun doesn't reach Earth's surface; the Sun stays right where it is, in the center of our Solar System.The Sun's light takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth (150 million km. / 300,000 km/second).
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.
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.
Light anywhere travels about 186,000 miles in one second. It takes light 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth.
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second, or 300,000 km per second. It takes light from the Sun about 8 minutes 20 seconds to reach the Earth.
About [ 8 and 1/3 ] minutes ... same as every other point on earth.(The earth's diameter is about 0.04 light-second. Its circumference is about 0.13 light-second.)
The Earth is 500 light-seconds from the Sun. One second is 10^9 nanoseconds.
If you mean light from the Sun, then it takes eight minutes for the light to reach the Earth.
it does reach the earth in light energy.
About 1.3 seconds. The Moon is, roughly, 250,000 miles from the Earth, and light travels at 186,000 miles per second.
