How long does it take "light" to travel from the Sun to Earth?

[Clifford Black]

8 minutes and 20 seconds

Photons emitted from the surface of the Sun need to travel across the vacuum of space to reach our eyes. The short answer is that it takes sunlight an average of 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to the Earth.
