Explanation

Light from the Sun takes approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth, which is about 499 seconds. This is based on the average distance of 150 million kilometers between Earth and Sun, and the speed of light at 300,000 km/s. The precise value varies slightly due to Earth's elliptical orbit.
