Astronomy & Space - July 2006

The average distance between the earth and the sun is 93 million miles. Using the velocity of light given (distance = rate x time) find an approximate value for the amount of time that it takes a light ray to travel from the sun to the earth?
If someone knows of a website or other source for more information that would be helpfull also.
thank you in advance.

I had someone ask me this and I didn't have an answer, so I thought maybe someone here could help me. What is it that makes planets run relatively linear to each other in an orbit. I know that they aren't perfectly aligned with each other, but they do see to rotate around the sun in the a very similar linear direction.

I'll elaborate more if I'm not painting a clear picture here if you need me to.

i do! and if u do, then u have probably heard scientists say that if aliens do exist then they would probably be millions of years more advance than us! but i think, how is this possible? how can u improve live by so much? just think of the technology we have now and how advanced it is! and now imagine our technology times 1 million years! how many things could we possibley change? i guess life would be perfect and every person would be perfect! do u agree with me? oh and i know this is a weird and pointless question! it is just something i had on my mind!

I am wondering why NASA and the rest of the space faring countries don't train dwarves and midgets for space missions? Surely this would save fuel and supplies give more space for the astronauts.
