Detailed Solution

The earth is 8.3 light minutes from the sun, which means the distance between the earth and the sun is 8.3 light minutes.
Speed of light is a unit to measure very long distances like the distance between planets, stars, galaxies, etc., and the time taken by light to travel from the sun to earth is 8.3 minutes; hence 8.3 light minutes is the distance between the sun and earth.
