Answer:

B Eight light-minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case when the distance separated earth and the sun so here we orbit the sun for a 150 million km distance and the light moves would be 300,000 kilometers per second

Now divide this

= 150 million ÷ 300,000 kilometers per second

= 500 seconds

This 500 seconds represent 8 minutes and 20 seconds

Hence, option B is correct
