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.
