The Earth's diameter is roughly 8,000 miles. If the light is traveling in vacuum, then
8,000 miles is roughly 0.043 of one light-second, or roughly 0.00072 of a light-minute.
Light takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to Earth. Since the distance across Earth's orbit is roughly double the distance from the Sun to Earth, it would take light around 17 minutes to travel across the diameter of Earth's orbit.
It takes light approximately 8.3 minutes to travel across the diameter of Earth's orbit around the sun, which is about 186 million miles. This value is known as the astronomical unit (AU) and is used as a standard unit of measurement in astronomy.
Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
The Earth is 8.3 light-MINUTES(0.0000152207001522070015220700152207 light years) from the Sun.
It's how far does light go in 17 minutes . . . . 305.7 million km, equal to the diameter of the Earth's orbit.
Jupiter is approximately 32.6 light minutes away from Earth on average.
Venus is about 2.32 light minutes from Earth, Jupiter is about 35 light minutes from Earth.
About eight minutes for the sun's light to reach the earth, if that's what you're asking...
Venus has a shorter travel time in light years from Earth compared to Jupiter. The distance between Earth and Venus can range from about 0.28 to 0.69 light minutes, while the distance to Jupiter ranges from about 32 to 53 light minutes.
Earth is 8.3 light-minues from the sun. This is straight from my earth Science teachers lecturer notes.
The sun is about 8.3 light minutes away from Earth. This means that it takes about 8.3 minutes for light to travel from the sun to 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.)
