You can put this solution on YOUR website! The speed of light is 2.99 * 10^8 meters per second. It is 1.49669180 * 10^11 meters from the earth to the sun. How much time does it take light to travel from the sun to the earth? Put answer in scientific notation.
--------
time = distance/rate = 1.49669180x10^11/(2.99x10^8)
0.5005658194x10^3
= 500.566 seconds
= 8.34 minutes
