How fast does light travel from the Sun to each of the planets?

Light travels at a speed of 299,792 kilometers per second; 186,287 miles per second. It takes 499.0 seconds for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth, a distance called 1 Astronomical Unit. below I list the light travel times from the Sun to each planet:

Planet           Distance in AU            Travel time
....................................................................
Mercury              0.387        193.0 seconds   or    3.2 minutes
Venus                0.723        360.0 seconds   or    6.0 minutes
Earth                1.000        499.0 seconds   or    8.3 minutes
Mars                 1.523        759.9 seconds   or   12.6 minutes
Jupiter              5.203       2595.0 seconds   or   43.2 minutes
Saturn               9.538       4759.0 seconds   or   79.3 minutes
Uranus              19.819       9575.0 seconds   or  159.6 minutes
Neptune             30.058      14998.0 seconds   or    4.1 hours
Pluto               39.44       19680.0 seconds   or    5.5 hours

...ARE WE REALLY SEEING WHAT WE SEE...?

...YES...! BUT WITH THE TIME DELAY LIGHT TAKES TO TRAVEL AND OF DISTANCE...!

...SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT SATURN, YOU ARE SEEING WHERE IT WAS, AS WHERE IT IS NOW IS FURTHER AHEAD IN ITS ROTATION, OF THE LOCATION IN TIME OF HOW LONG LIGHT TAKES TO TRAVEL TO US FROM SATURN...!

...IT TAKES LIGHT TO TRAVEL FROM SATURN TO EARTH 79.3minutes - 8.3minutes = 71minutes ; that is 1 hour and 11 minutes...!

...If you do a time exposure photo closeup of Saturn, you would see an arc in the sky at night, from position A to position B, of the photo time duration...! PLUS all other stars visible...!

THE TRAVEL CURVED LINE OF LIGHT FROM SATURN TO EARTH, IS PRODUCED BY THE MOVEMENT OF BOTH, THOUGH YOU CANNOT SEE IT AS THUS...! BUT IT IS NOT A STRAIT LINE...!

IT IS TRUE THAT AS FAR OUR FROM EARTH YOU SEE INTO THE UNIVERSE YOU ARE LOOKING BACK IN TIME. THOUGH IT MIGHT NOT BE TO THE EXACT BEGINNING OR OF SOME BEGINNING...!

...The Arquimides and Logarithmic Spirals could be a combination approximation, to the real curved line of light travel in the UNIVERSE and around us.

THE PARALLAX ERROR OR MEASURING DISTANCES IN ASTRONOMY MIGHT BE WITH BIG ERRORS OR SOMEWHAT NEGLIGIBLE as to the vastness of the Universe, and the number of Stars...!

BUT, THE DISTANCE CALCULATED IS ALONG THE LIGHT CURVED SPIRAL LINE OF ROTATIONAL MOVEMENT, IN WHICH LIGHT PHOTONS CONTINUOUS LINE REACHES US OVER THE TIME LAPSE OF LIGHT SPEED TRAVEL...! SO THE STRAIT LINE DISTANCE TO THE OBJECT HAS TO BE CLOSER AS THE FURTHER WE GET AWAY IN DISTANCE/TIME...!!!
ALSO THE CURVATURE OF LIGHT IS MORE LIKE A NARWHAL TUSK/ HORN TOWARDS THE POLES VIEWING ON EARTH, AND AS DEPICTED ELONGATED SPIRALS TOWARD THE EQUATOR VIEWING OF THE EARTH...!!!

THE IDEA OF A SPIRAL GALAXY SHAPE IS SUPPORTED ALSO BY THE SPIRAL GALAXIES THAT CAN BE SEEN WITH TELESCOPES...!!! AND BY SPIRAL SHAPE SEA SHELLS...!!!

WHAT IS AMAZING IS THAT IN THE KNOWN LIFE OF ASTRONOMY AND STAR VIEWING BY HUMANS, ALL STAR POSITIONS HAVE BEEN MOSTLY EXACTLY THE SAME, FORMING THE CONSTELLATIONS, NORTH POLAR STAR, ETC...!!!
