  • Speed of light=3×10^8m/s=3×10^5km/s
  • Distance=150million km=150×10^6km

Now


\\ \rm\longmapsto Speed=(Distance)/(Time)


\\ \rm\longmapsto Time=(Distance)/(Speed)


\\ \rm\longmapsto Time=(150* 10^6)/(3* 10^5)


\\ \rm\longmapsto Time=50* 10^1


\\ \rm\longmapsto Time=500s


\\ \rm\longmapsto Time=8.33min

  • Can be written as 8min 20s.
