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.
The moon is about 0.0000000406 light years away from earth.
The moon is about 0.0000000406 light years away from earth. Clearly, the moon is MUCH too close (238,000 or 239,000 miles or so) for the distance to be rendered meaningfully in light years.
The distance to the moon is about 1.3 light seconds or about 0.000000032 light years.
Ganymede, the largest moon of Jupiter, is about 666 million kilometers away from Earth on average. This distance is equivalent to approximately 0.00007 light years.
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)
The moon is about 1.278 light-seconds from Earth.Converting that figure to the equivalent fraction of a year, I get0.000 000 040 486 light-year (rounded)
The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 1.28 light-seconds. This means it takes light about 1.28 seconds to travel from the Earth to the Moon.
the distance between Earth and the Moon in light years.
The moon and earth get there light from the sun when the sun shines onto the moon the moon reflects the suns light onto the earth.
Anything can be measured in light time. The moon is about 1.3 light seconds (0.0000000412 light years) from the earth. The closest star system, which includes Alpha Centauri, is 4.3 light years away.
The moon does not emit light, rather it reflects it. The light from the sun shines on the moon, and it is reflected to earth.
No. The moon reflects the sun's light and the earth is heated and lite by the sun.
