The distance between the sun and the Earth is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers), and light travels at a speed of about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second). This distance and speed combined result in a travel time of 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light to reach the Earth.
