Why do light waves require a medium in which to travel?
Light waves do not require a medium through which to travel. They will travel (propagate) perfectly well in a vacuum. Otherwise, light would not pass through the vacuum of space. It would be very dark here on earth as the light from the sun, moon and stars could not reach Earth through the vacuum of space.

Is a medium necessary for a wave to travel?
No not really. Sound waves are mechanical waves. They require a medium for propagation. On the other hand, Light waves are electromagnetic and do not require a medium. Hence you cannot hear in space. AND light waves reach the earth from the sun through space- which is a vacuum!!
How long will it take the get the suns heat to earth?
It will take 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth. The actual heat of the sun does not reach all the way out to Earth. The warmth on Earth comes from the conversion of light energy to heat energy.
