Answer:

8 min 20 seconds

Explanation:

Radiation from the sun travels as light through the vacuum of space. Therefore, it is travelling at the speed of light which is roughly 300,000 km/s. If we divide this speed by the average distance between the Sun and the Earth (150,000,000 km) we would get a total of 500 seconds. We can now turn this total time into minutes which would be roughly 8 min and 20 seconds. Therefore, it would take a total of 8 min 20 seconds for radiation from the Sun to reach Earth.

After being rushed to the hospital, charlene is told she has an ectopic pregnancy. what does this mean?
Morgarella [4.7K]
This means that the fertilized egg has implanted in the fallopian tube and is growing outside of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg settles and grows in any location other than the inner lining of the uterus. Most of these cases occurs in the Fallopian tube (tubal pregnancy). If untreated ectopic pregnancy can be a medical emergency.
