VY Canis Majoris
About 2.5 million light years from Earth, but since the Earth and Sun are only 8 light minutes apart, there isn't that much of a difference in how far the Andromeda Galaxy is from the Sun or Earth. So the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years from the Sun and Earth.
If you could travel from Earth to the sun at the speed of light, you would be about 8 minutes and 20 seconds 'younger' when you arrived at the sun.
The nearest star to Earth is the sun, at a distance of 0.000016 light years from Earth. The next nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is about 4.2 light years away.
At its furthest Saturn can be as far as 0.000175 light years(1.66 *109 km) from the Earth (175/1000000 of a l.y.)At its closes Saturn can be as near as 0.000172 light years(1.51 *109 km) from the Earth
No. The sun is about 8 light minutes from Earth
The Earth is 8.3 light-MINUTES(0.0000152207001522070015220700152207 light years) from the Sun.
The Earth is 8.2 light-MINUTES away from the Sun.
light years.
About 8 light-minutes.
It is approximately 1.52207x10^-5 light years. On average it takes just under 8.5 minutes for light to reach the earth from the sun.
a distance of 1.58 × 10-5 light-years).
About 2.5 million light years from Earth, but since the Earth and Sun are only 8 light minutes apart, there isn't that much of a difference in how far the Andromeda Galaxy is from the Sun or Earth. So the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years from the Sun and Earth.
There is light on earth because of the sun. Is that the answer you were looking for?
If you could travel from Earth to the sun at the speed of light, you would be about 8 minutes and 20 seconds 'younger' when you arrived at the sun.
Our sun is approximately 93,000,000 miles away. One light year isapproximately 5,866,000,000,000 miles away. 93,000,000/5,866,000,000,000 = 0.0000158 light years.
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that the distance from Earth to sun is calculated with the help of light years.
Well the heavens (the universe) and earth were made several billion years apart. Light on earth existed when earth was formed as the sun existed then. Obviously when life began on earth there was light already existing (the sun)
