I believe it takes light from the sun about seven minutes to reach earth and moon. And light travels at 186,000 miles pre second !
The average time that it takes for light to travel from the moon's surface to the earth's surface or vice versa is about 1.255 seconds.

The moon is opaque. Light cannot travel through it.
The distance from the Moon to Earth is a little more than one light-SECOND, meaning it takes light a little over a second to travel that distance.
About 1.3 seconds
Because the sun is roughly 390 times farther from us than the moon is. As you know, if you always travel at the same speed, like light does, then the time that any trip takes will depend directly on the length of the trip.
what it is not right it must be how long it takes to travel to the moon!!!
It takes about 8 and one third minutes to get to the Moon. From the Moon to the Earth only takes a second or so. Of course the light may reach the Earth first, depending on where the Moon is in its orbit around Earth, but it hardly makes any difference.
Light from the sun takes about 81/3 minutes to reach the moon, and if it bounces off the moon in the direction of Earth, another 1.27 seconds from the moon to Earth.
Communication with spacecraft is by means of radio. Signals travel at the speed of light. At that speed, signal travel one-way to or from the moon takes about 1 and 1/4 seconds. For Mars, depending on where the earth and Mars are in their orbits, radio communication one-way can take up to 22 minutes.
It takes about 1.3 seconds since the distance between the Earth and the Moon is 230,100 miles and light travels 186,282 miles per second.
The time it takes for the moon to travel around the earth one time is called a lunar cycle. A lunar cycle generally takes about 29 days to complete, but it can be shorter or longer. A lunar cycle begins with a new moon.
