The speed of light (c5 811 = 300,000 km/s = 3.0 × 10km/s = 3.0 × 10 m/s)
The speed of light (c5 811
= 300,000 km/s = 3.0 × 10km/s = 3.0 × 10 m/s) is the maximum speed in the Universe. The average distance between the Sun and the Earth is defined as 1 AU (Astronomical Unit) which is equivalent to 1.5 x 10 m. How long does light take to travel from the Sun to the Earth? Hint: calculate the value in seconds, then convert to minutes. Please show your work and use units in your equations. Using exponents is the easiest way to express large numbers
