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!?!?
The speed of light is about 186,000 miles per second.
at the speed of light, a little over 8 minuets.
The speed of light in a vacuum is about 299,792 kilometers per second. It takes approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light to travel from the Sun to Earth, a distance of about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers).
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.
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
Read the question carefully; it needs some editing. You could mean a couple of different things. You could simply want the speed of light in a vacuum, or you could be asking about the time it takes for light from the sun to reach earth. It is not clear.
No material object ever moves at the speed of light. The Earth's speed in its solar orbit ... relative to a foolish astronomer sitting on the sun ... is about 29.78 kilometers per second. That's about 0.0001 of the speed of light.
In terms of the speed of light, the distance between the Earth and Sun is81/3 light minutes,or about 0.00001585 light-year.
about 8mins and 19secs
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).

Depends on the speed. At the speed of light it's about 8 minutes.
The speed of light in a vacuum is about 299,792 kilometers per second. It takes approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light to travel from the Sun to Earth, a distance of about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers).
Speed=3x10^8 m/s Time=8.3168708 minutes
the speed of light is 186,000 miles a second it takes the light from the sun takes 7 minuates and 59 seconds to reach earth if the sun explodes it wont be known until the light reaches 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.
