Understanding Light Travel from Sun to Earth

What is the main problem discussed in the video?

• Finding the time it takes for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth

• Measuring the diameter of the Sun

• Calculating the distance from Earth to Mars

• Determining the speed of sound

How do you convert a number from scientific notation to standard form?

• By adding the exponent to the base

• By moving the decimal point to the right

• By multiplying the base by the exponent

• By moving the decimal point to the left

What is the standard form of the distance from the Sun to the Earth?

• 150,000 kilometers

• 1.5 million kilometers

• 1.5 billion kilometers

• 150 million kilometers

How many kilometers does light travel in one second?

• 300,000 kilometers

• 30,000 kilometers

• 3,000 kilometers

• 300 kilometers

How long does it take for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth in seconds?

• 1,000 seconds

• 500 seconds

• 5,000 seconds

• 100 seconds

How is the time in seconds converted to minutes?

• By dividing by 60

• By subtracting 60

• By multiplying by 60

• By adding 60

What formula is used to calculate the time taken for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth?

• Distance = Time / Speed

• Time = Distance / Speed

• Speed = Distance / Time

• Distance = Speed x Time

What is the rearranged formula to solve for time?

• Time = Distance x Speed

• Time = Speed / Distance

• Time = Distance / Speed

• Time = Speed x Distance

What is the final time taken for light to reach Earth in scientific notation?

• 5 x 10^2 seconds

• 5 x 10^3 seconds

• 5 x 10^4 seconds

• 5 x 10^5 seconds

What is the equivalent time in minutes for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth?

• 8 and 1/3 minutes

• 7 and 1/3 minutes

• 6 and 1/3 minutes

• 5 minutes
