Light is a form of Electromagnetic Wave, whose spread does not depend on the Medium (i.e. air, water). Its speed is one and only, so its Kinematic is characterized by uniform Velocity. In this case, we determine the Time taken by light to go through the Distance between Earth and Sun by means of this formula:
[tex]t = \frac{x}{v}[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in seconds.
[tex]x[/tex] - Distance between Earth and Sun, in meters.
[tex]v[/tex] - Speed of light, in meters per second.
If we know that [tex]x = 1.49\times 10^{11}\,m[/tex] and [tex]v = 3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the time taken by light between the Sun and the Earth is:
[tex]t = \frac{1.49\times 10^{11}\,m}{3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s} }[/tex]
[tex]t = 496.667\,s[/tex]
The light takes 8.278 minutes to cover the distance between Sun and Earth.
