1. Distance in Kilometers:
* The average distance between Venus and the Sun is about 108,208,000 kilometers.
2. Speed of Light:
* The speed of light is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (or 299,792.458 kilometers per second).
3. Calculate Time in Seconds:
* Divide the distance by the speed of light:
108,208,000 km / 299,792.458 km/s ≈ 360.9 seconds
4. Convert Seconds to Minutes:
* Divide the time in seconds by 60:
360.9 seconds / 60 seconds/minute ≈ 6.015 minutes
Therefore, Venus is approximately 6.015 light minutes away from the Sun.
