The Sun won't hit the Earth, but the Earth may, and that will be when the world comes to an end. However, if you were referring to sunlight, 7 seconds should do it. distance from sun to earth ~ 150, 000, 000 km=1.5*10^8 km light =3*10^8m/s = 3*10^5km/s so 5*10^2 s ~ 8 mins. 7 seconds=2*10^6 km which is less than distance to moon. sorry to pick at units but a minute is verry diffrent to a second in astronomical terms.

How long does it take for sunlight to hit earth?
it takes about 8 minutes for the sunlight to get to the earth.
How long does it take for coronal mass ejection to hit earth?
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) typically take 1 to 5 days to reach Earth after being ejected from the Sun. The exact arrival time depends on the speed at which the CME is traveling and the distance between the Sun and Earth. Scientists use space weather monitoring systems to track CMEs and predict their arrival time.
Hiw long does it take for a light beam from the sun to hit the earth?
From the time the light photon is generated in the core of the Sun, it may take millions of years to get to the surface. But once it reaches the surface of the Sun, the Earth is only 8 minutes 20 seconds away!

How long would it take a laser beam to hit mars from earth orbit?
It depends on where Earth and Mars are in their orbits. Since Mars takes longer to orbit the sun than Earth does the distance between the two planets varies considerably. When Earth and Mars are closest a beam of light will take about 4 minutes to reach Mars from Earth. When they are farthest (on opposite sides of the sun) a bean of light would take about 12 minutes.
When is the world going to hit the sun?
In about 5.5 billion years, the sun will swell to a size where it will engolf the Earth. But since the sun is gas it can't really 'hit' the Earth.
