Task 1: A Journey to Earth Every moment of every day, light pours out from the Sun at the center of our solar system and
travels to Earth. It does not arrive at Earth instantaneously though; it takes time to get here.
Your task is to figure out how long it takes for light to travel from the Sun to Earth.
a.
d
V =
The formula for the velocity of an object is
7, where v is the velocity of the object,
d is the distance traveled, and t is the time elapsed while that distance is traveled. If you
had only this formula to work with, what should your first step be in determining how long it
takes for light to reach Earth from the Sun? What additional information do you need to
calculate this?
Type your response here: to know the distance between the sun and the earth you
need to isolate d of the equation
