Question 897219: The approximate distance of earth’s orbit around the sun is 150x10^6km.the approximate distance of mars ‘ orbit around sun is 228x 10^6km.light travels 3x 10^8. How much will take for a radio signal to travel from the mars rover to a radio receiver on earth

It depends on the alignment.
The minimum distance to Mars is 78e6 km.
The max is 378e6 km.
------------
Pick a distance, then use
d = r*t
t = d/r
You didn't specify the units for the speed of light, it's 3e8 km/second
