Answer 2

Answer : $\bold{8 \: Minutes \: 20 \: Seconds}$


Extra information -

On average, it takes 8 minutes 20 seconds to travel sunlight from the sun to the earth.

The average distance between the sun and the earth 149.60 (approximately 150) million kilometres.

Sunlight travels 300,000 kilometres per second. Divide 150,000,000 by 300,000. We will get 500 seconds.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

500 seconds = 500 ÷ 60

500 seconds = 8 minutes 20 seconds.


Hence :

Required Answer is 8 minutes 20 seconds
