Solution:
Given that
The speed of light in vacuum is unity
And we want to find the distance between the Sun and the Earth
Use formula
Distance = speed × time
Speed is unity = 1 unit /sec
Time = 8 min and 20 sec = 8 × 60 + 20 sec = 500 sec
Plug the values we get
Distance between Sun and Earth = 1× 500 = 500 units
hope it will help u

Distance between the Sun and the Earth
= Speed of light × Time taken by light to cover the distance
Given that in the new unit, speed of light = 1 unit
Time taken, t = 8 min 20 s = 500 s
Distance between the Sun and the Earth = 1 × 500 = 500 units
I hope, this will help you
