About 3.2 minutes ( 36,000,000 miles at 186282 miles/sec)

If Mercury is 57.9x109m from the sun, and if light travels at a speed of 3x108 m/s, then it would take 193 seconds (or 3.2 minutes) for light to reach Mercury.
Mercury does not emit light.
Light years are a measure of distance not time. However they can be used to gauge how long it would take you to get there if you travelled at the speed of light. Mercury is approximately 4 light minutes away from earth (46.5 million miles) so it would take a beam of light around 4 minutes to get to Mercury (assuming Mercury is at its closest point to the Earth)

Messenger was a mission of the space program to reach Mercury. It took 3 years and 4 months to reach the destination.
It would take just over three minutes.
It takes about 43 minutes for the sun's light to reach Jupiter.
