That's the speed it needs for a stable orbit around the Sun. Any object at the distance of Jupiter (from the Sun) that moves much faster than that will be catapulted out of the Solar System; if it moves much slower than that, it will fall towards the Sun. 8 miles per second is approximately 13 km/second; for comparison, the Earth moves around the Sun at a speed of about 30 km/second. Being closer to the Sun, it must move faster to remain in a stable orbit.

The distance from the sun to Jupiter is 778000000000 miles so How long does it take for light from the sun to reach Jupiter?

You seem have too many zeros. Jupiter is 778 million Kilometers (778,000,000), NOT miles from the Sun. The number of miles is about 484 million (484,000,000). Light will take just over 40 minutes to reach Jupiter. The speed of light is abut 186,000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second)
