99 ten millionths of a second. It would take sound 8.85 seconds.
Light travels at 186,000 miles per hour, and the Earth orbits about 93,000,000 miles from the Sun. When you do the math, you find that the Sun's light takes about 500 seconds to reach the Earth. There are 60 seconds in one minute, so the Earth is about 8.3 light-minutes away from the Sun.
It takes: 93,000,000/186,000 = 500 seconds and 500/60 = 8 minutes and 20 seconds
About 25 seconds. It's closer to 23, but 5 seconds per mile is the general rule of thumb.
Take the number of feet in 2 miles (2*5,280) and divide it by the speed of sound in seconds ( 1,010 fps).
99 ten millionths of a second. It would take sound 8.85 seconds.
Very close to 5 seconds.
Jack led the other boys as they rushed away from the platform and towards the mountain even though Ralph had not called an end to the meeting.

The Farthest-Away Mountain was created in 1976.
It is 65000000/300000 = 216.6 seconds. That comes to be 3 minutes and 36.6 seconds.
It takes 53 minutes 20 seconds
Due to plate tectonics and its landscape. All of the tectonic plates are moving away from Africa, not towards it. That's why there are few mountain ranges and no continental size mountain chains that other continents demonstrate.
A lightning strike is about 1,100 feet away if you hear the thunder one second after the lightning flash. The distance varies somewhat with temperature, air pressure, and other environmental conditions.
If you see the him/her, the cyclist will probably only be a few seconds away. Let him/her pass first - then open the door.

It takes about 500 seconds for light from the Sun to reach the Earth. The Earth is a little closer to the Sun sometimes (in January) and a little further away sometimes (in July), but this doesn't make that much difference: less than 10 seconds in either case.
