Distance b/w sun and earth
= speed of light × time taken to reach to earth
given new unit of speed = 1 unit
time = 8 min 20s = 500 s
so dis. = speed × time
=> 500units
= speed of light × time taken to reach to earth
given new unit of speed = 1 unit
time = 8 min 20s = 500 s
so dis. = speed × time
=> 500units

Distance between the Sun and the Earth
= Speed of light × Time taken by light to cover the distance
Given that 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
I hope, this will help you
