Why is the distace between earth and the sun measured in light minutes and the distance between neptune and the sun measured in light hours?
Because it only takes 8 minutes for sunlight to reach Earth, but it takes 4 hours to reach Neptune.
If Jupiter is 43.3 light minutes from the sun and Neptune is 4.2 light hours from the sun how far from Jupiter is Neptune?
Unfortunately, you can't give an exact answer, because it depends on where the planets are in their orbits. For example, they could be on opposite sides of the Sun or on the same side. When on the same side, Jupiter could be near aphelion Neptune at perihelion, minimizing the shortest distance to 245 - 45 = 200 light minutes. Conversely, with Neptune and Jupiter both at aphelion on opposite sides of the sun the distance is maximized to 247 + 45 = 292 light minutes apart. The best estimate for their average separation is given by the hypotenuse of a right triangle of their average solar distances, roughly (246^2 - 43^2)^(1/2) = 250 light minutes.
How many planets away from the sun is Neptune?
Neptune is in the same solar system as the earth. It is about 2.7 billion miles from earth. It takes like about four hours and two minutes to extend from the earth to Neptune. That would make Neptune about 0.00036782 light years from earth.
How does the distance from the sun to Neptune compare to a light year?
The distance from the Sun to Neptune is 4,504,300,000 kms Light travels 9,460,730,472,580,800 kms a year So light would take just over four hours to get from the Sun to Neptune. Most of us have taken a 4-hour road trip. So imagine driving solidly for over four years. That's how long you'd have to travel for (at the speed of light) to get to the next star (Proxima Centauri).
How long does it take light to travel from earth to Neptune?
Neptune has an average distance from the Sun of 2.8 billion miles and the earth is 0.09 billion miles from the sun so it is 2.71 billion miles from the earth. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. So 2.71 x 109 divided by 186,000 = 14570 seconds = 4.05 hours = 4.62 x 10-4 years.

How many light minutes is it from the earth to the sun?
About eight minutes for the sun's light to reach the earth, if that's what you're asking...
How many light years away is your sun?
The sun is not light years away but light minutes and the sun is 8 (rounded) light minutes away from us. But if you really want to know how far away the sun is from us in light years it is 0.000015 of a light year away from us.
