Here's why:
* Distance: Uranus is about 1.9 billion miles (3 billion kilometers) from the Sun.
* Speed of light: Light travels at a speed of 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second).
To calculate the travel time, divide the distance by the speed of light:
* Time = Distance / Speed
* Time = 1.9 billion miles / 186,282 miles per second
* Time ≈ 10,197 seconds
* Time ≈ 2 hours and 40 minutes
