- Sunlight takes about 8 minutes 20 seconds to reach Earth — a little less than this timer (mean Earth–Sun distance ≈ 1 AU).
- A standard academic “period” break or short stand-up meeting often fits in about ten minutes.
Analogies use common textbook figures (e.g. light travel time ≈ 499 s for 1 AU). They are illustrative, not laboratory measurements.
