The speed of light is 300,000,000 meters per second. The sun is approximately meters 1.5 x 10¹¹ from Earth. How many seconds does it take for the sunlight to reach Earth?

Respuesta :

Answer:

about 500 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances between stars across the universe are very great, so astronomers use light years as a larger unit than miles or kilometers. To calculate the actual distance of a light year, you simply need to multiply the speed of light by the number of seconds in a year. This means 300,000,000 multiplied by 500 and you would get 1.5 x 10¹¹ which is equal too 150,000,000,000
