8 billion minutes = 15,210.61 years
4,204,800
The answer depends on 800 WHAT! 800 seconds, minutes, years?
Approximately, yes. When you get to a period like 30+ years and you are trying to be accurate to a second, you need to allow for leap years.
There are exactly 8 minutes in 8 ... minutes.
60*24*7*52*8 that many or... 1 year = 525,948.766 minutes 8 years = 4,207,590.128 minutes more accurate answer is: 60*24*365=525,600min every 4 years we get 1 extra day: 525,600*4+60*24=2,102,400+1,440=2,103,840min 8 years is 2 times 4 years = 4,207,680min
8 billion light years means that the light has taken 8 billion years to reach you. That's how far into the past you are seeing.

You are looking at the light that that star made 10 billion years ago. Since it takes that many years for the light to reach earth, you would not notice if that star died for 10 billion years, just like you wouldn't notice by looking at it that the sun suddenly died for 8 minutes (The amount of time it takes for its light to reach the earth). We are constantly looking at the sun 8 minutes ago!
Perhaps 7 to 8 billion years.
The answer depends on 800 WHAT! 800 seconds, minutes, years?
When you see a galaxy that is 8 billion light years away, the light that's dribbling into your eye left that galaxy 8 billion years ago, and has been traveling toward you ever since then. If you just happen to see the galaxy explode or turn blue while you're watching it, you'll know that it actually exploded or turned blue 8 billion years ago. Similarly, if the galaxy explodes or turns green tonight, you won't know about that for another 8 billion years from tonight.
The best guess is that our solar system is about 8 billion years old.
Approximately, yes. When you get to a period like 30+ years and you are trying to be accurate to a second, you need to allow for leap years.
Yes, a redshift of 1 does equal to a light travel distance of nearly 8 billion years (i.e. 7.7 billion years).
About 8 light-minutes.
There are exactly 8 minutes in 8 ... minutes.
The closest star is the Sun - about 8 light-minutes away. The closest star after that is at a distance of 4.3 light-years; the farthest observable galaxies (galaxies are made up of stars) are at a distance of over 40 billion light-years.The closest star is the Sun - about 8 light-minutes away.
