Answer:-
Distance between the Sun and the Earth =500 units.
Step By Step Explanation:-
Distance between the Sun and the Earth:
= Speed of light × Time taken by light to cover the distance
Given:-
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
