D 5.0 x seconds5.0 x 10^2 seconds
To calculate the time it takes for light to travel from the sun to the earth, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
Plugging in the values given:
Time = 1.5 x 10^11 m / 3.0 x 10^8 m/s
Time = 5.0 x 10^2 seconds
Therefore, it takes 5.0 x 10^2 seconds for light to travel from the sun to the earth.
Light travels at a rate of 3.0 x meters per second. If the earth is 1.5 x meters away from the sun, how long does it take for light to travel from the sun to the earth?
