The light from a star eight light years away will take eight years to reach Earth.
Light speeds along at nearly 300,000 kilometers per second (or 299,792.458 km to be exact). That is about 180,000 miles per second. Despite the extremely fast speed of light, sunlight still needs more than eight minutes to reach the earth. If one could turn off the light of the sun at this very instant, we would only experience the total darkness eight minutes later. Sun and earth are separated by what is called eight light minutes. If one thinks about it that myriads of stars are millions of light YEARS from the earth, one gets some impression of how immense the universe must be.
The Sun doesn't travel to Earth. What travels to Earth is the light from the Sun. This takes about 8m 20s.
The average distance to the Moon is 384,399 kilometres = 4.06318742 × 10-8 light years (Note the minus) The moon is only a tiny fraction of one light year from earth. It takes light from the sun eight minutes to reach earth, and the moon is much closer to earth than the sun. Measuring such a small distance in light years is possible but impractical. ======================================= The moon is roughly 1.27 light seconds from the earth. (rounded) 1.27 light seconds is the same as 0.0000000406 light year. (rounded)
White light is monochromatic light.
It takes right around eight minutes for sunlight to reach earth.
Well I don't really understand your question but.. Light travels at 186,000 Miles per second and takes around eight and a half minutes to reach earth.
If you mean light from the Sun, then it takes eight minutes for the light to reach the Earth.
About eight minutes for the sun's light to reach the earth, if that's what you're asking...
light from the sun
Eight minutes

If I am aware of myself, then I must be here.
Not unless it reflected off an object 4 light years away.Straight to Earth takes about 8 minutes.
Eight minutes and nineteen seconds at the speed of light.
it is True
