The distance between the sun and earth is not same in a year, then how can we calculate time taken for light to reach earth?

The time taken by sunlight to reach earth is 8 min 20 sec.

Is speed of light always same? Gravitational pull affects light?

So will the light energy continue to decrease? If so where are we heading to on this earth?

The light of sun reaches earth exactly at 9 minutes 19 seconds. It has increased because the light energy has decreased so it take more time reach now.

Distance b/w Earth & Sun [D]= 15*10^7 km.
Speed of light in vacuum [v]= 3*10^8 km/sec.
Let time taken by sunlight to reach earth = T.
We know that,
V=D/T or T=D/V.
That means T=15*10^7 / 3*10^8.
= 5*10^-1 sec or 5*10^-1/60 min.
= 8.3 min.

Distance of sun from earth = 150,000,000 km.
Speed of light = 3,00,000 km/sec = 18,000,000 km/minute.
So time taken by sunlight to reach earth = (150,000,000 / 18,000,000) minute = 8.3 min.
Speed of light = 3,00,000 km/sec = 18,000,000 km/minute.
So time taken by sunlight to reach earth = (150,000,000 / 18,000,000) minute = 8.3 min.

Delay is due to difference in densities of layers. i.e., when sun rises at horizon its rays gets somewhat deflected due to which they have to cover more area to reach our eyes.

The sunling is very powerful and very long from our eyesight, that's why much time to reach the light from here.
