The rocket fires it's engine and pushes out enough energy to escape earth orbit and send it to the moon, where the moon's gravity grabs it and brings the rocket into orbit or into the surface of the moon. It's takes a lot of energy to send a rocket to the moon. A Saturn V moon rocket was needed during the Apollo space mission. If you have ever stood next to a Saturn V moon rocket at a museum, you will see it takes a lot of energy to send an object to the moon.
the moon travels around the earth,and the earth travels around the sun

It doesn't ! The moon travels around the earth !
The moon appears to travel across the sky due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth rotates, the moon's position in the sky changes, giving the illusion that it is moving. This movement is consistent with the cycle of day and night.
Reflected sunlight, for sure, travels from the Earth to the Moon. Reflected sunlight from the Moon also travels to Earth. That is why we can see the Moon.
The Apollo spacecraft took 3 days to travel from the Earth to the moon.

The Space Shuttle does not go to the moon. It only orbits the Earth.
Yes Yes Because the Moon is in Earth's Gravitational Pull.
It takes about 1.28 seconds for light to travel from the moon to Earth. So if the moon were to travel at the speed of light, it would complete an orbit around the Earth in approximately 1.28 seconds.
The space shuttle does not travel to the moon. The Apollo missions used spacecraft, not space shuttles, to travel to the moon. It took the Apollo missions around 3 days to travel from Earth to the moon.
The Moon's orbital speed is greatest when it is at its closest approach to the Earth.
