1. Distance:
* The average distance between the Sun and Saturn is approximately 1.433 billion kilometers (890 million miles).
2. Speed of Light:
* The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (186,282 miles per second).
3. Calculation:
* Convert distance to meters: 1.433 billion kilometers = 1.433 x 10^12 meters
* Time = Distance / Speed
* Time = (1.433 x 10^12 meters) / (299,792,458 meters/second)
* Time ≈ 4,780 seconds
Therefore, it takes approximately 4,780 seconds for light to travel from the Sun to Saturn.
