Question

The diagram below shows four planets and their distances from the sun.

Light from the sun reaches Earth in 8.3 minutes. In how many minutes does light from the sun reach Venus?

Group of answer choices

3.24 minutes

4.25 minutes

5.98 minutes

7.58 minutes

Answer 1

5.98minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

since speed of light is constant;

distance/time for the earth= distance/time for Venus

1/8.3=0.72/x

x=8.3*0.72

x(time to reach Venus) = 5.976= 5.98minutes
