Question

2. It takes light from the sun approximately 8 minutes to reach the Earth. The speed of light is 3 x 10 m/s (this is 3 followed by eight zeros). Use this data to calculate the approximate distance of the Earth from the sun. 1440X108 m/sec Ang LO 8 AND VALITATE​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The distance between the earth and the sun d= velocity of light × time taken to reachlight form sun to earth

or d=(3×10

8

m/s)×(8×60s)=144×10

9

m=144×10

6
