No, subtract one hour for each time zone to the West. The sun rises in the East, sets in the West, so it takes longer for the sun to get to the West. The exception would be crossing the International Dateline from East to West.
It is the time for light to travel 1mm, subsequently taking the speed of that to work out the speed it takes to travel to the sun in kilometers per hour.
A 'light-year' is a distance calculated by how far light can travel in one standard year. A 'light-minute' is how far light can travel in one minute. Earth is about 8 light-minutes (93,000,000 miles) from the Sun. 14 light-years in space is going to be about 84 trillion miles, a huuuuge distance!
Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, the sun is about 93 million miles away from Earth. If you're cruising at 25,000 miles per hour, it would take you roughly 3,720 hours to travel one million miles. Multiply that by 93, and you've got about 345,960 hours to reach the sun. So, like, pack some snacks and maybe a good playlist for the trip.
earth's orbit is elliptical with sun at its focus. when earth reach near to it ,earth travel faster and when far away its slower . therefore answer will depend on the which month you are considering. acc. to kleepner law area swept in a particular time is same.
