Mercury's orbit takes it from 46 million kilometres to almost 70 million kilometres from the Sun.
As the speed of light is 299,792,458 metres per second, this means that the light from the Sun takes between 153 and 233 seconds to get to Mercury. This is between 2.5 and 4 minutes.
Almost nothing well-known in the solar system is as far as 1 light year away from the Sun.
