amperes or A.
The earthing wire does not normally carry current.
The ampacity of an 8 gauge wire at 240 volts would depend on the specific type of wire and the installation conditions. Generally, an 8 gauge wire can safely carry around 40-50 amps of current. It is important to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations for precise guidance.
To carry the electric power to a light . . OR . . it's wire that is not too heavy to carry.
The fuse or breaker should be no bigger than specified for the wiring and devices on the circuit. Your nominal current draw may be 20 amps, but a short circuit would cause maximum current to flow which in this case would be 100 amps until the fuse blew.
It can carry upto 100 Ampere.

amperes or A.
Ampere (A) is the unit of measurement that describes the rate that electricity flows through a wire.
The larger in diameter the wire is, the larger the current carrying capacity the wire has.
the gauge of the wire determines how much amperage a wire can carry the insulation determines how much voltage the wire can handle
The unit that measures the quantity of electric current flowing through a wire is the ampere, denoted by the symbol "A". Ampere is the base unit of electric current in the International System of Units (SI).
For a typical use it would be 1/0 (one ought) wire in copper.

A current flowing through a wire creates a magnetic field around the wire. This phenomenon is described by Ampere's law in electromagnetism.
