The sun is about 1.5 × 10^8 kilometers from Earth. If light travels about 3 × 10^5 kilometers per second, about how many seconds does it take light from the sun to reach Earth?

1.5×10^8/3×10^5
=0.5×10^3
=0.5×1000
=500 seconds. As a result, it takes 500 seconds or 8 minutes 20 seconds ffromghe sun to Earth. Hope it help!
