Laser light propagates at the same speed as radio waves or any other form of electromagnetic radiation. That is 186,282.4 miles per second. The moon averages about 239 thousand miles. Light, therefore requires roughly 1.3 seconds to cross the gulf dividing the earth and moon.

How long would it take electricity to travel from the earth to the moon?
I would imagine the speed of Electricity in a bolt of lightening is very close to that of light ... light travels at 187000 mph...The moon is 238,857 miles from earth. If you divide the speed of light from the distance to the moon, you get about 1.27 hours (1 hour, 16 minutes, and 20 seconds
How long would it take for a cheetah to get to the moon?
If a cheetah can run a consistent speed of 75mph and the moon is and exact average distance of 238,854 miles away, then it would take a cheetah 3,184.72hrs. to run to the moon.
How long would it take to travel 1 mile on the moon?
It would depend on how fast you were travelling. For a set speed, one mile on the moon would take the same time as one mile on Earth.
Why do we have a moon?
because if we didn't have a moon there would be no light.
How long does it take moonlight to travel to earth?
The speed of light is 300,000 km per second. The Moon's distance varies between about 360,000 km and 405,000 km from the Earth. So it takes a little over a second for light reflected from the Moon to reach Earth.

Nyan cat travels at the speed of light, so it will take 2.5 light seconds
How long it takes for a particle from the moon to hit earth?
Well, if it is a particle of light (a photon) it takes about a second and a half. If it is any other particle, one that does not move at the speed of light, then you have to define a speed for it.
