Why is it important to know how long light takes to reach the Earth?
Since light travels at a known speed and changes in frequency as it travels, it provides a way of measuring the distance to faraway stellar objects (stars, galaxies). This provides important clues to the structure of the universe. To the naked eye, dim nearer objects (asteroids, planets, stars) look the same as bright faraway ones (galaxies). Some distant stars and galaxies whose light reaches the Earth today no longer exist, at least not in the form they had when the light was emitted, many millions of years ago. As for the light from the Sun, its 8-minute travel time to Earth is an interesting concept, but has little bearing on how the Sun affects the Earth.
Which is the only planet whose English name does not derive from greek roman mythology?
Earth is the only planet whose English name does not derive from Greek/Roman mythology. The name "Earth" is of Germanic origin and comes from Old English and Germanic words meaning "ground" or "soil."
Why did human eyes evolve to detect visible light?
Human eyes evolved to detect visible light because it is the primary form of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun and is abundant on Earth. Detecting visible light allowed early humans to perceive the world around them, differentiate between colors, identify food sources, and navigate their environment effectively.
How would your weight change on the surface of an earth size planet whose mass was greater than earth?
It would be greater.
Traveling at speed of light how much time will pass in 70 years on earth?
None. At the speed of light, time stops completely. It is impossible for anything with an invariant mass to move at the speed of light; only particles with no "rest mass" (such as photons) can do so.
The starlike object whose light must travel for 12 billion years to reach the earth are called?
Quasar

What is the explanation to scientists that Black Holes are not the Shining Stars whose light has not reached us yet?
black holes are not stars instead they have a thick mass and high gravitation which sucks everything but it can produce light which can't reach us because of it's mass.
Whose the richest dog on earth?

How do you replace rear tail light bulb on a 1985 corvette?
I have a 1988 and I answered in this forum before about changing the tail light and I think it is the same with the 85, The problem is the space is so small the average person's arm will not fit to get at the light. I used my 14 year old son whose are was alot thinner than mine and he was able to reach up and change the bulb. He had to squeeze his arm up until he could reach it it is a very tight spot.

Venus
Whose light will never turn into dark?
