How many minutes it takes light from there sun to reach the earth?
With the simple equation: Rate*Time=Distance. Since you need to find the time it would be: Time=Distance/Rate. The sun is approximately 93 million miles from the Earth and the speed of light is approximately 186000 miles per second. So you would take 93000000/186000, which equals 500. It takes about 500 seconds(around 8 minutes) for the Sun's light to reach Earth.
Why is light measured in distance and not in time?
-- The distance that light travels in some amount of time is expressed in units of distance. -- The time that it takes light to cover some amount of distance is expressed in units of time. -- The speed of light is expressed in units of speed . . . distance/time
Light takes 1.26 s to travel from the moon to Earth in an experiment What is the distance between them at this time?
Light travels at 300,000 km per second, or 186,000 miles per second. Multiply the speed of light in your preferred units times the time to get the distance.
How long does it take for sun rays to reach Jupiter?
It takes about 43 minutes for light from the Sun to reach Jupiter. Here is a helpful link describing how long it takes for light from the Sun to reach objects in our solar system. http://www.pbs.org/seeinginthedark/astronomy-topics/light-as-a-cosmic-time-machine.html
How Many astronomical units is the sun from Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse is 40,473,416.93376 AU' (Astronomical Units) from Earth.
How many minutes does it take for sun light to reach Pluto?
Pluto's distance from the Sun is from 4.4 to 7.4 billion kilometers. The speed of light is 300,000 km/sec. Light takes between from 4.1 hours and 6.8 hours to travel from the Sun to Pluto. For the mean distance of 5.9 billion km, it would take 5.46 hours.

What are the three major units of Earth time?
The three major units of Earth time are days, months, and years. A day is the time it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation on its axis. A month is approximately the time it takes for the Moon to orbit the Earth. A year is the time it takes for the Earth to orbit around the Sun.
What is the units used to measure the distance of stars to the earth?
light years
How long does it take light to travel from earth to Neptune?
Neptune has an average distance from the Sun of 2.8 billion miles and the earth is 0.09 billion miles from the sun so it is 2.71 billion miles from the earth. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. So 2.71 x 109 divided by 186,000 = 14570 seconds = 4.05 hours = 4.62 x 10-4 years.

How are light years and astronomical units similar?
Light years and astronomical units are both units of distance.

How many more units do you need to reach a total of 357 if you currently have 38 units?
To reach a total of 357 units from 38 units, you need 319 more units.
How many astronomical units is ALGOL from the Earth?
I'm pretty sure Algol is 105 light years away.
Units used to measure the distance to stars in terms of whether their starlight takes minutes or years to reach earth?
The distance to stars is typically measured in light-years, which is the distance light travels in one year. Light-years are used because the distances to stars are vast and measuring in kilometers or miles would be impractical. For closer stars, distances can sometimes be measured in parsecs, which is another unit of distance based on trigonometric parallax.
