Answer:
250 light minutes takes
Step-by-step explanation:
1 astonomical unit is equal to 1.50x10¹¹m
The light travels at the speed of 3.0x10⁸m/s. That means in 1 second, travels 3.0x10⁸m. To solve this question we must find the distance of neptune to the sun in meters. In this way we can find the seconds (And minutes) that need the light to travel from the sun to neptune:
Distance from Sun to neptune:
30AU * (1.50x10¹¹m / 1AU) = 4.5x10¹²m
Time transcurred:
4.5x10¹²m * (1s / 3.0x10⁸m) = 15000s
15000s * (1min / 60s) =
250 light minutes takes
