SOLAR SYSTEM Pint Glass

The solar system's scale is so vast that it takes light, traveling at about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to the Earth. However, light traveling from the Sun to Neptune, the most distant planet, takes over 4 hours. This vast distance gives a sense of the immense scale of our solar system, with Neptune orbiting the Sun at about 30 astronomical units (AU), or roughly 30 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
