Answer:

1.49*10^8 km.    Extra info= this is also known as 1 au (astronomical unit)

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of light in vacuum= 3*10^5 m/s

Time taken= 8.33 minutes= 499.8 seconds

Distance= d

As we know distance= speed * time

d= 3*10^5 * 499.8 m

d= 149940000m = 1.49*10^8 which is somewhat near to the distance between the sun and the earth which is 148.48 million km.
