<PRE><B>Question 1066817</B>
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
