Explanation..
........
First of all, the Earth orbit the Sun at a distance of about 150 million kilometers or 1.5*10^11 meters


.
The speed of light is about 3*10^8 m/s. In order to answer a question, we will use the following equation:



t = d/v, where d – distance in meters, v – speed in meters per second and t – time in seconds.



t = 1.5*10^11 / 3*10^8 = 500 sec



We know that 1 minute equals 60 seconds, hence, 500 / 60 = 8.33 minutes = 8 minutes 20 seconds.



Finally, 500 seconds = 8.33 minutes = 8 minutes 20 seconds.

time=8.33min=499.8sec
speed of light =3×10^8m/s
distance =speed×time
=3×10^8×499.8
=1.4994×10^11metres.
pls mark the ans as brainliest.
