How long would it take a laser beam to hit mars from earth orbit?
It depends on where Earth and Mars are in their orbits. Since Mars takes longer to orbit the sun than Earth does the distance between the two planets varies considerably. When Earth and Mars are closest a beam of light will take about 4 minutes to reach Mars from Earth. When they are farthest (on opposite sides of the sun) a bean of light would take about 12 minutes.
How many hours is Mars from the sun?
If you could travel at the speed of light, the trip from Mars to the Sun would take you about 12-15 minutes - and that's assuming you start off immediately at light-speed.Mars is approxy 205 million KM away from the sun. Divide that into light hours(Traveling @ - Speed of Light (I) for --- hrs., mins., secs., yrs., etc.)Now, the average light second can travel up to 1km per 0.005 of a second.Transfer that and go into the decameter and you will find thatit is approxy 2441.5 hrs to get to the sun from Mars.
8.31 light minutes equals how many years?
This cannot be properly answered because light-minutes is a measure of distance not time.On that note, 8.31 light-minutes is a distance of 92,880,403.2 miles. This happens to be the approximate average distance from the earth to the sun.
How far is Venus from the sun in light minutes?
13, Venus is 13 light minutes from the sun
If Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun why does it take light or radio waves 8 minutes to get from the Sun to the Earth but it takes between 10 and 20 minutes to get from Earth to Mars?
Earth's average distance from the sun = 1 AU = 93 million milesDistance in terms of light-speed = (93,000,000) / (186,282) = 499 sec = 8min 19secMars' average distance from the sun = 1.52 AU = 141.4 million milesDistance in terms of light-speed = (141,400,000 / 186,282) = 759 sec = 12min 39secWhat's the problem ?

How long does it take for a light ray leaving the sun to reach Mars when Mars is closest to the sun?
Mars is closest to the sun at a distance of about 206,669,000 kilometers. That's about 11.49 light minutes.
How many lightyears is the Sun from Mars?
On average, the Sun is about 1.5 astronomical units (AU) away from Mars. 1 AU is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, which is roughly 93 million miles. This distance is equivalent to approximately 13 light-minutes.
How long does it take sunlight to reach Mars?

How far is Earth from Mars in Earth minutes?
Minutes are a unit of time, not of distance. Perhaps you mean LIGHT minutes, which refer to the distance light travels in a minute. Earth is 1 AU from the sun, which takes light about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. Mars is about 1.5 AU, so when earth and Mars are on the same side of the sun, the distance between them is 0.5 AU. Light would take four minutes, 10 seconds to cross that gap. When Mars and Earth are on opposite sides of the sun, the distance between them is 2.5 AU, which would take light nearly 21 minutes to cross. On average, Earth and Mars would be at roughly right angles to the sun, so you could use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the distance of their hypotenuse: About 1.8 AU. I'll leave the conversion of this into light time as an exercise for the gentle reader.
If it takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light to travel from the sun to the earth how long would it take light to travel to mars?
From where ? ? ? From the sun: 12min 40sec From the earth when Mars is closest: 4min 21sec From the earth when Mars is farthest: 20min 59sec

Sun light takes how many second to reach mars?
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 kilometers per second. It takes sunlight about 13 minutes to reach Mars. It takes about 81/2 minutes to reach Earth.
