What is seven minutes away?

Answer 1

If I'm walking . . . my neighbor's house two doors away.

If I'm on my bicycle . . . the little convenience store down on Main.

If I'm driving . . . the next rest area, if I can just hold on.

If I'm in a commercial jet which is flying . . . the Michigan shoreline.

If I've just switched on my flashlight and pointed it at the sun . . .

the light is about 84% of the way there, with another 80 seconds

left to go before my flashlight illuminates my side of the sun.

Answer 2

Seven minutes away can refer to a distance of roughly one mile if you are walking at an average pace. It could also mean that an event or activity is scheduled to start in seven minutes.
