Answer :
Light travels at a speed of:
[tex]c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s[/tex]
The distance between Mercury and Sun is [tex]S=6.02 \cdot 10^7 km=6.02 \cdot 10^{10} m[/tex], so the time it takes is
[tex]t= \frac{S}{c}= \frac{6.02 \cdot 10^{10} m}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s} =200.7 s[/tex]
if we want to convert this into minutes, keeping in mind that 1 min = 60 seconds, we should divide this value by 60:
[tex]t= \frac{200.7 s}{60 s/min}=3.34 min [/tex]
[tex]c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s[/tex]

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 = 0.00223 seconds Sun to Mercury
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 = 0.00223 seconds Sun to Mercury
