How long does it take (in minutes) for light to reach mercury from the sun, a distance of 6.02 × 107 km?
2 answers:
SoL = 2.998 x 10^8 m/s
Distance 6.26 x 107 km
Speed of light = 299,800,000 m/s
Distance = 669.82 km
Distance = 669,820 meters
669,820 / 299,800,000 = <span>0.00223 seconds Sun to Mercury</span>
Light travels at a speed of:
The distance between Mercury and Sun is
, so the time it takes is
if we want to convert this into minutes, keeping in mind that 1 min = 60 seconds, we should divide this value by 60:
