Answer:

9.21x10¹² m

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to move the speed at which light moves. That value can be readily found on textbooks:

  • c = 3x10⁸ m/s

Then we can use the formula for speed:

  • Speed = distance / time
  • Distance = Speed * time

Where in this case Speed is c, and the time is 8.53 hours.

Now we convert 8.53 hours into seconds:

  • 8.53 hr * [tex]\frac{60min}{1hr}*\frac{60s}{1min}[/tex] = 30708 s

Finally we calculate the distance:

  • 3x10⁸ m/s * 30708 s = 9.21x10¹² m
