Answer:
Light travels at a speed of 299,792 kilometers per second; 186,287 miles per second. It takes 499.0 seconds for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth, a distance called 1 Astronomical Unit. below I list the light travel times from the Sun to each planet:
Planet Mercury 0.387 193.0 seconds or 3.2 minutes Venus 0.723 360.0 seconds or 6.0 minutes Earth 1.000 499.0 seconds or 8.3 minutes Mars 1.523 759.9 seconds or 12.6 minutes Jupiter 5.203 2595.0 seconds or 43.2 minutes Saturn 9.538 4759.0 seconds or 79.3
Answer:
10703712.5km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to divide the time it takes to get there but the distance to mars
the amount of time it takes around 20 hr and divide that by 210210 million and you will get around the same answer
