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

Question:-
A new unit of length is chosen such that the speed of light in vacuum is unity. what is the distance between the sun and the earth in terms of the new unit if light takes 8 min and 20s to cover this distance.
Answer:-
Speed of light = 1 new unit ,
Time taken = 8 min + 20s
= 480s + 20s
= 500s
Now,
D = S/T
S*T = D
1 new unit/sec * 500s = D
D = 500 new unit
Therefore, The distance between sun and earth is 500 new unit.
