The sun is roughly 8 minutes and 19 seconds away from earth in light speed!!!

Imagine how far away it is in normal earth speed!?!?

How do they time the time it takes for the light coming from the sun to reach the earth?

Scientists measure the time it takes for light to travel from the Sun to Earth using the speed of light. They know the distance between the Earth and the Sun and divide it by the speed of light to calculate the time it takes for sunlight to reach us. The speed of light is approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second).

How does light travel from the sun to the earth?

Light from the sun travels to Earth through the vacuum of space as electromagnetic radiation. This radiation consists of photons, which are particles of light that travel in straight lines at the speed of light. The light reaches Earth in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds.


How much faster is the speed of light compared to earth speed?

The speed of light is not always fixed at 299792458 m/s. In earth's atmosphere, the speed of light slows, though this is negligible. In water, light travels at 75% of c, and in a diamond, light travels at .40 c. C is the speed of light, rounded to 300,000 km/s.


What takes longer to reach earth light from the sun or light from other stars?

Light from the sun because all light travels at the same speed, and the sun is the closest star to the earth, so therefore the light from the sun reaches the earth before light from other (further away) stars
