It takes 8.5 minutes for the light from the sun to reach the earth. I just found that out, I was expecting it to take much longer. [Source]
Oh and I am currently watching a movie called Sunshine.

light travels at 1,079,252,849km/h or 300,000,000m/s.
on a similar note, everthing that freefalls accelerates towards the ground at 9.8m/s
Thats why it takes the same time for two objects to hit the ground when dropped.
thanks for the info einsteins..
that movie sux… =(
rv: That would be 9.8 m/s^2. Additionally, all things should ‘ideally’ hit the ground at the same time if dropped form the same height (e.g. in a vacuum) but they don’t because of air resistance, etc.
this was like the first thing they ever taught us in physics u retard. LOL
Man Mark seriously I learnt this in primary school. MAN. :/
