Correct Answer: 8


Solution : The correct answer is 8.

One light year is the period it takes light to traverse in one year. Light from the sun's photosphere takes about 8.3 minutes to reach Earth, implying that the sun is only 8.3 light minutes or 1.5781e-5 light years distant. It takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to get from the sun to the earth.
