Answer:

997.319138 seconds

Explanation:

Speed = Speed of light = [tex]3\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]

Converting distance to m

[tex]1\ AU=149597870700\ m[/tex]

One way trip

[tex]Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\dfrac{149597870700}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow Time=498.659569\ s[/tex]

Two way trip would be

[tex]2\times Time=2\times 498.659569=997.319138\ s[/tex]

The round trip would take 997.319138 seconds
