It varies, depending on the positions of Earth and Mars. It can be anywhere between 3 and 22 minutes. When this answer was written (6/27/2009), Mars was approximately 177 million miles from Earth which works out to about 15.84 light-minutes.
401300000 km is 4.013 x 1011 m. The speed of light is 3 x 108 m s-1. Divide the two and you get 1338 seconds, which is 22.29 minutes.
It takes about 5 minutes for a radio signal to travel from Earth to Venus when they are closest to each other in their orbits. Venus is approximately 38 million kilometers away from Earth at its closest point.
For light to travel from the sun to earth.
If the sun were to suddenly stop shining, it would take approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds for people on Earth to notice, as that is the time it takes for light from the sun to reach our planet. We would experience darkness and a significant drop in temperature when the sunlight ceased to reach us.
With the average distance or "mean" distance from the Earth to the sun set at approximately 93,000,000 miles, and the speed of light at about 186,000 miles per second; the time in seconds it takes sunlight to reach the earth is appoximately "500 seconds". Most people refer to the time in minutes which would be about 8.333333 minutes.
401300000 km is 4.013 x 1011 m. The speed of light is 3 x 108 m s-1. Divide the two and you get 1338 seconds, which is 22.29 minutes.
It would take 100 Earth years for a signal to travel from a star located 100 light years away to reach Earth.

It takes about 5 minutes for a radio signal to travel from Earth to Venus when they are closest to each other in their orbits. Venus is approximately 38 million kilometers away from Earth at its closest point.
It's not clear what the number in the question refers to. The frequency or wavelength of the signal have no effect on the time required for it to reach earth. The only important number is: How far it has to travel. The signal would take 1 hour for every 670,615,200 miles it has to cover.
Depending on their positions in their respective orbits, it could be Venus or Mars. The fastest would be when Venus is at inferior conjunction. That is when Venus and Earth are in line with and on the same side of the Sun. In this case the distance would be approximately 40 000 000 km and a radio signal would take approximately 2 minutes to reach Venus.
the earth does not go to the sun or else we would all be burnt to ashes. it takes about 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach the earth.
That would depend on which type and form of energy you are referring to. Light energy takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.
For light to travel from the sun to earth.
I will not be able to reach the sun in terms of light years as it is within our own solar system. However, light from the sun takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth so you could say it would take about 8 minutes in terms of light years to "reach" the sun.
The moon is roughly 250,000 miles from Earth and light travels at about 186,000 miles per second, so it would take about 1.30 seconds for the moonlight to reach Earth.
It would take a radar signal 3049600 seconds to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars. Divide by 60 to get minutes and divide again to get hours.
