Answer:

[tex]x=0.017 AU[/tex]  

Explanation:

We can use the equation of speed in terms of distance. We know that the speed of light is constant value so we will have:

[tex]v=\frac{x}{t}[/tex]

[tex]x=v*t[/tex]

[tex]x=3*10^{8}*8.417[/tex]  

[tex]x=2.53*10^{9}m[/tex]  

Now we know that [tex]1 AU = 1.496*10^{11}m[/tex]

[tex]x=0.017 AU[/tex]  

I hope it helps you!
