Here, s is speed, d is distance and t is time.
500 s.
The distance of the Sun from Earth is 150 million km or
From the given distance and speed, the time taken by sunlight to reach Earth can be calculated as follows:
Substituting the values,
Thus, the time taken by sunlight to reach Earth is 500 s.
