Light travels at a speed of close to 3 x 10^5 km/s in vacuum. given that it takes light 8 min and 19 s to travel the distance from the center of the earth to the center of the sun, how far away is the sun from the earth? (astronomers use this as a "distance unit" called 1 astronomical unit or 1 au)
