Answer 2

Answer:

Distance of the sun from the earth is 15,30,00,000 km.

Explanation:

Speed of the light = 3,00,000 km/s

Time = 8.5 minutes = 8.5 x 60 = 510 seconds.

Distance of the sun from the earth = ?

Distance = Speed x Time

Distance = 3,00,000 x 510

Distance = 15,30,00,000 km.

Therefore, If the speed of light is 3,00,000 km/s and light of the Sun takes 8.5 minutes to reach the surface of the Earth, the distance of the sun from the earth is 15,30,00,000 km.
