How long does it take for the sun to drifts completely around the sky?

Answer 1

That depends on where it's coming from. Just like any other voyage from one place

to another, a longer trip takes more time.

If the light is coming from the moon, it takes about 1.27 seconds.

From Mars, when it's as close as it can get . . . 41/2 minutes.

From the sun . . . . . 81/3 minutes

From Pluto, when it's as close as it can get . . . 51/3 hours

From the next nearest star past the sun . . . . . 4.3 years.

From the nearest galaxy outside the Milky Way . . . . . 2,540,000 years.

From the farthest objects that

astronomers have been able to detect so far . . . . . 14,000,000,000 years.

Answer 2

Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, and the Earth's orbit is _about_ 93,000,000 miles. The Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical; it isn't a true circle. But it is only about 3% off.

Do the math, and you can see that light takes about 500 seconds to travel from the Sun to the Earth. That's one RADIUS of the Earth's orbit; the diameter would be twice that, or about 1,000 light-seconds.

Answer 3

Speed is relative.

The equatorial diameter of the Earth is 12,756.2 km or 7,926.335 miles.

The Earth is rotating around its axis at approximately 1,674.4 km/h The Earth is revolving around the Sun at approximately 107,218 km/h The Earth, the Sun and the rest of the Solar System are travelling around the galactic core at around 828,000 km/h.

For the revolution, the Earth would take about 7.13 minutes to cover the equatorial diameter

Answer 4

The Sun does NOT "drift completely around" in the sky. If you are asking how long it takes for the Sun and its planetary system to orbit the galaxy, then, depending on the sources you read, 200 - 250 million years. If this isn't the answer you were looking for, then please refine your question.

Answer 5

Just considering the distance alone, it would take about 16.7 minutes. But it's an

impossible procedure, because in order to go straight across Earth's orbit, it would

have to go straight through the whole sun, which light can't do. (Don't get upset

with the weird idea of going through the sun. Let's just say that instead of the sun

in the middle of the orbit, there's a tree or a sheet of aluminum foil there.)

Answer 6

if initiated at this precise moment it would need to consult with the doc first in which he would advise aproximately 1.21 gigawatts of energy would be behind it causing it to reverse rotation of the earth landing us all back in the time of player pianos and saloons

Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. It would take like half a second to circle the earth if light could bend.

Answer 7

0.1366 seconds

Earth circumference at equator = 40,066 kilometers

Speed of light = 299,792.458 kilometers per second

distance (divided by) speed = time

Answer 8

Depends entirely on where the light originated.

Answer 9

It takes the sun's light about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach earth.
Light travels at a speed of 186000 miles per second, therefore it takes 8 minutes.

Answer 10

As seen from the Earth, the sun appears to complete a

revolution around the celestial sphere once each year.
