Detailed explanation-1: -Sunlight travels at the speed of light. Photons emitted from the surface of the Sun need to travel across the vacuum of space to reach our eyes. The short answer is that it takes sunlight an average of 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to the Earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Light travels at a speed of 299, 792 kilometers per second; 186, 287 miles per second. It takes 499.0 seconds for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth, a distance called 1 Astronomical Unit.
Detailed explanation-3: -It means that the sunlight takes exactly 8.3 minutes to reach to the surface of the earth. It is calculated by dividing the distance of the earth from the sun with the speed of the light. Suggest Corrections.
Detailed explanation-4: -Light travels at 300, 000 kilometres per second, so it takes about 1.3 seconds for light to travel from the Moon back to the Earth. In other words, the Moon is 1.3 light-seconds away from the Earth.
Detailed explanation-5: -At its closest point, sunlight only takes 490 seconds to reach Earth. And then at the most distant point, it takes 507 seconds for sunlight to make the journey.
