Final answer:
Venus is located about 108 million kilometers from the Sun, based on the calculation derived from the speed of light and the time it takes for light to travel from the Sun to Venus.
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes light 6.0 minutes to travel from the Sun to the planet Venus. The distance that light travels in one minute is 18 million kilometers, given that light speed is 300,000 kilometers per second. Therefore, to find out how far Venus is from the Sun, we multiply the speed of light by the number of minutes it takes for light to reach Venus. Since it takes light approximately 6 minutes to cover the distance:
- Distance = Speed of Light x Time
- Distance = 18 million km/minute x 6 minutes
- Distance = 108 million kilometers
Hence, Venus is approximately 108 million kilometers from the Sun. The correct answer to the question is b) 108 million kilometers.
