It is 473,000,000 miles from Jupiter to the sun. Light travels 186,000 miles per second. How long does it take light to travel from the sun to Jupiter? (Express your answer in minutes. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

time=distance/speed=473E6/186E3

= 2.543E3seconds=2543/60 min

To find the time it takes for light to travel from the sun to Jupiter, we need to divide the distance between them by the speed of light.

Distance from the sun to Jupiter = 473,000,000 miles
Speed of light = 186,000 miles per second

The time it takes for light to travel from the sun to Jupiter can be calculated using the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

Substituting the values into the formula:

Time = 473,000,000 miles / 186,000 miles per second

Calculating this division, we get:

Time ≈ 2548.39 seconds

To express this time in minutes, we divide the value by 60 (since there are 60 seconds in a minute):

Time (in minutes) ≈ 2548.39 seconds / 60 minutes per hour

Calculating this division, we get:

Time (in minutes) ≈ 42.47 minutes

Rounding this answer to two decimal places, we find that it takes approximately 42.47 minutes for light to travel from the sun to Jupiter.
