Light takes `8 1//2` min to travel from the Sun to the Earth. The velocity of light is `3,00,000 km s^(-1)`. Find the distance of the Sun from the Earth.

Explanation

To find the distance of the Sun from the Earth, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert the time from minutes to seconds
The time taken by light to travel from the Sun to the Earth is given as `8 1/2` minutes. We first convert this time into seconds.

\[ 8 \frac{1}{2} \text{ minutes} = 8.5 \text{ minutes} = 8.5 \times 60 \text{ seconds} \]
