Question

if the light from the sun reaches us in 8.3 light minutes how far is the sun from the earth give answer with explanation​

Answer 1

8.3 minutes correspond to: 8.3 * 60s =  504s.

Now, the speed of light in vacuum is approximately $3 * 10^8 m/s$.

Space can be assumed to be a vacuum, and so, the distance traveled by light to reach Earth is speed * time = $3 * 10^8 (m/s) * 504 (s)$, which is equal to:

$1512 * 10^8 m = 1.512 * 10^11 m$ or $1.512 * 10^8 km$
