Best Answer

The average distance to the Moon is 384,399 kilometres = 4.06318742 × 10-8 light years (Note the minus)

The moon is only a tiny fraction of one light year from earth. It takes light from the sun eight minutes to reach earth, and the moon is much closer to earth than the sun. Measuring such a small distance in light years is possible but impractical.

=======================================

The moon is roughly 1.27 light seconds from the earth. (rounded)

1.27 light seconds is the same as 0.0000000406 light year. (rounded)
