Distance Sun-Earth at speed of light
How far is the Earth from the Sun? About 150 million kilometers. Even light takes a long time to travel this incredible distance, while traveling at a speed of around 300,000 km/s! In fact, a ray of sunlight takes 8 minutes and 17 seconds to reach us. In this video you can appreciate the relative "slowness" of the point of light shot by the Sun to reach the surface of the Earth.
