Sun is 8 light minutes away how long would it take to send a microwave to the sun and back to earth?
Since microwaves are invisible light (like everything on the electromagnetic spectrum: UV X-rays, infra-red, and so on), it travels at the speed of light. Then, if you send a microwave to the sun, it would be there 8 minutes later, and would take another 8 minutes to come back to earth. So the answers is 16 minutes.
What else can I help you with?
If the sun were to disappear right now you would not know about it for 8 minutes because it takes 8 minutes?
For light to travel from the sun to earth.
Is the sun 8 light min from earth?
8.3 light minutes equates to about 92,768,633.7 miles.
How fast does light travel to Jupiter?
Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second. The time it takes for light to travel to Jupiter depends on the distance between Earth and Jupiter, which varies as they orbit the sun. On average, light takes about 33 minutes to travel from Earth to Jupiter when they are at their closest approach.
How long does it take to get to the sun at the speed of light?
at the speed of light, a little over 8 minuets.
How long would take light to travel from earth to mars at a distance of 56 million km?
At a distance of 56 million kilometers, light requires 3.1 minutes to reach Mars from Earth.
Is there a light inside of the microwave when it is not in use?
No, when it is not in use, the microwave would not have a light on. Why would you want the light on when you are not using it and waste energy?

Is the sun 8 light min from earth?
8.3 light minutes equates to about 92,768,633.7 miles.
What is the time of the suns light reaching earth?
It takes about 8 minutes for the Sun's light to get to Earth. So if the Sun explodes because of a Supernova or other, we would know 8 minutes later!
How many light years from earth is mars?
Well traveling at the speed of light would take 4 minutes, so if you want to convert that to years...have fun :)
How long would it take a microwave signal to reach a geostationary satellite?
7 min 13 sec 1 kilometer = 0.621371192 miles Geostationary satellites are typically around 36,000 kilometers above the earth. Microwaves travel at the speed of light (186,000 mph) but only in a vacuum. Through air they are a bit slower. If you sent a microwave from the corresponding latitude on the equator, 75 degrees west for instance, ina perfect environment, at light speed, it would take about 7 minutes and 13 seconds.
You receive your light from the sun 93 million miles away A burst of light from the sun would reach your earth?
It takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light to travel from the sun to Earth.
How long would it take light to travel between Earth and Mars at their farthest orbits?
It would take about 22.5 minutes.
How fast does light travel to Jupiter?
Light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second. The time it takes for light to travel to Jupiter depends on the distance between Earth and Jupiter, which varies as they orbit the sun. On average, light takes about 33 minutes to travel from Earth to Jupiter when they are at their closest approach.
How many light years away from earth is mercury?
Mercury Is 0.000131 lightyears away from earth
How many light minutes is it from Jupiter to Earth?
That depends on how far apart Jupiter and earth are at the time.When both are on the same side of the sun, the closest the two planets can befrom each other is about 391 million miles. When on opposite sides of the sun,the farthest apart is about 577 million miles.The corresponding transit-times at light speed are between 35 minutes and 51.6 minutes.
How fast could you get to the sun at light-speed?
If you traveled at the speed of light (a current impossibility), you would travel from Earth to the Sun in an average of 8 minutes. Or would you? I suspect that you would burn up well before the 8 minutes were up.
