How long does it take for sunlight to reach the Earth if the distance from the Earth to the Sun is approximately 150 * 60 km?

The travel time of sunlight from the Sun to the Earth can be calculated using the formula:
t = S / V, where S is the distance from the Sun to the Earth (S = 150 million km = 150 * 10 ^ 9 m), V is the speed of propagation of light in vacuum (V = C = 300,000 km / s = 3 * 10 ^ 8 m / s).
Let’s calculate the time of movement of sunlight to the Earth:
t = S / V = (150 * 10 ^ 9) / (3 * 10 ^ 8) = 500 s.
Answer: Sunlight reaches the Earth in 500 seconds.
