That varies, depending on the object. A massive object may take a long time to reach terminal velocity; a less massive object will reach terminal velocity faster. It basically depends on the object's mass, size, and shape.
No. Terminal velocity is a limiting velocity, reached when a falling object's drag to wind resistance equals the force of gravity. For instance, on the Earth, a human being's terminal velocity is about 200 kilometers per hour, depending on drag which is depending on how the arms and legs are held.
On the moon, however, there is no atmosphere - it is in a vacuum - so there is no wind resistance due to velocity and thus no terminal valocity. A falling object on the moon will accelerate without bounds. (Until, of course, it hits something.)
If the object's velocity exceeds the escape velocity of the moon, which is 2.38 kilometers per second, and the velocity vector is above the moon's horizon, then the object will escape the gravity well of the moon, but that is not the same as terminal velocity.
When it's weight balances the air resistance
No
The Moon is smaller than the Earth so it has less gravity
This means an object will fall slower on the Moon than on Earth
No. It may crash before it does so. Or air resistance may simply be negligible, as in objects in outer space.
There is no atmosphere on the moon and any falling object should not experience air resistance.
the terminal velocity is the total speed that its take an object to reach the point it required from the initial velocity
Its the air resistance that causes the free falling body to reach its terminal velocity
Absolutely correct.
all objects have a terminal velocity once youu reach terminal velocity you can not fall any faster
In skydiving, the standard time to reach terminal velocity is about 12 seconds. Of course, "your mileage may vary....."

Absolutely correct.
The fastest velocity a falling object can reach is called its terminal velocity. This happens when the force of air resistance is equal to the downwards force of weight (gravity), so the object is in equilibrium, and thus reaches a constant velocity.

When the force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance.
The velocity of a dropped and falling object goes on increasing due to acceleration due to gravity. It is given as v = gt So as t increases then velocity v also increases. Value of g is 9.8 m/s2
Terminal velocity is the velocity where the force of gravity balances the drag of the air stream flow past the object. At terminal velocity, the object's acceleration due to gravity becomes zero, and the object begins to fall at a constant velocity. In a vacuum, however, there is no air - and thus no drag- so the object continues to accelerate.
Yes. - And please don't combine "does" and "is" in the same question that way.
Assuming the only difference is mass and that two objects have the same shape and size, it will take longer for the heavier object to reach terminal velocity than the lighter object. The terminal velocity of the heavier object is greater than that of the lighter object. Since the two objects accelerate at nearly the same rate at slower velocities, the time to reach terminal velocity will increase as weight or mass of the object increases. However I would not expect the increase to be a linear proportion since the drag is proportional to the square of the velocity.
There is no drag in a vacuum to act against the acceleration.
