It takes 500 secs for sunlight to reach Earth
Speed, distance and time
From the question, we are to determine how long it would take sunlight to reach Earth
From the formula,
[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
We can write that,
[tex]Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]
From the given information,
Distance = 1.5 × 10⁸ km = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m
Speed = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s
Putting the parameters into the formula, we get
[tex]Time = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{11} }{3.0 \times 10^{8} }[/tex]
[tex]Time = 500 \ secs[/tex]
Hence, it takes 500 secs for sunlight to reach Earth
