The moon is roughly 250,000 miles and light travels at about 186,000 miles per second, so, it would take about 1.30 seconds for the moonlight to reach the earth.

Not even close to a light year. Light years are used to measure interstellar and intergalactic distance. Distances within the solar system are much smaller. Since the moon orbits Earth, it is about the same distance from the sun as Earth is, give or take about 0.25%. That distances averages 1 astronomical unit, which is about 8 light minutes or 0.000016 light years.
About 8 minutes
The rotation period of the moon is 27.32 days.

The pupils get larger. Pupils take in light and if it is dark, there is not much light if there is any at all. The pupils grow larger to take in as much light as possible. If the hole is bigger, more light can come in faster.
How much what?
At its average distance from the earth, the moon is 1.28 light seconds away.
8.3 minutes.
About a second and a quarter.
The Moon has no light of its own, it shines because the Sun's light is illuminating it. It takes the light from the Sun about 8 minutes to reach the Moon and 1.27 seconds to bounce off the Moon to your eyes. As the Moon orbits the Earth every 27 days, there are 27 days between one Full Moon and the next.
