If you were to travel through an angle of 8 degrees across the surface of the earth through how many kilometers would you have traveled?

It depends on your latitude. At the equator (0 degrees) a degree of longitude covers just over 111 km, so 8 degrees would be about 890 km.
At 45 degrees of latitude, a degree of longitude covers just under 79 km, so 8 degress would be about 555 km.
Check out the calculator in the related link. Enter the degrees of latitude and it gives the length of a degree at that point.

What is the difference between plane and spherical triangles?
The difference between plane and spherical triangles is that plane triangles are constructed on a plane, and spherical triangles are constructed on the surface of a sphere. Let's take one example and run with it. Picture an equilateral triangle drawn on a plane. It has sides of equal length (naturally), and its interior angles are each 60 degrees (of course), and they sum to 180 degrees (like any and every other triangle). Now, let's take a sphere and construct that equilateral triangle on its surface. Picture an "equator" on a sphere, and cut that ball in half through the middle. Set the top half on a flat surface and cut it into four equal pieces. Now if you "peel up" the surface of one of those quarters and inspect that triangle, it will have three sides of equal length, and will have three right angles. Not possible on a plane, but easy as pie on the surface of a sphere. Spherical trig is the "next step up" from plane trig.

Glaciers weather surface rocks mainly through the process of abrasion. Intermediate earthquakes occur 70 to 300 kilometers below the Earth's surface.
How warm is it at the sun?
On the surface, about 11,000 F. But to get to the surface, you'd have to travel through the corona, which is believed to get as hot as several million degrees F.
