Radio waves are electromagnetic.Right??
"Phoenix was on track for anticipated entry into the atmosphere at 4:30p.m. Pacific Time and reaching the surface at 4:38 p.m., although confirmation of those events comes no sooner than 15 minutes, 20 seconds later, due to the time needed for radio signals to travel from Mars to Earth."

But light takes just 8 minutes to reach Earth from the sun, and here radio waves are taking 15.Is Mars farther than the sun from Earth at present??
