HOW FAR AWAY IS SUN?

The sun is 93 million miles(1 mile=1.60934km)away from the earth. Even light, which travels so quickly that we cannot even see it move, takes eight minutes to get from the sun to earth.

In a jet traveling 550 miles per hour, it would still take 19 years to reach the sun. In a car traveling 60 mph, it would take about 177 years.

This is one of those science questions that boggle even the adult mind!
