Sunlight takes just over 8 minutes to reach the Earth. On average, the Earth is 150 million kilometers (93 million miles) away from the Sun. Its orbit is actually slightly elliptical, so can get a little closer and a little more distant from the Sun. That sounds like a long way, and it is. But light travels really really fast. The speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000 km/s. How long does it take for sunlight to reach Earth? It only takes about 8 minutes.
