Answer:

93 miles

Explanation: We can determine the distance to the sun using the time light takes to get to Earth. Just multiply the speed of light by the amount of time it takes light to get to Earth. That's 500 seconds.

186,282 miles per second x 500 seconds = 93,141,000 miles

The sun is about 93 million miles away from Earth. It will take our fastest space shuttle moving at a constant maximum speed about 108 days to travel this same distance.
