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.

How much of the moon gets light from the sun at all times?
It depends how much part of earth is in between sun and moon blocking sun's light as the moon is a sphere and earth's shadow causes it to look like being changing its shape.
Why are there new phases of the moon each night?
The phases of the moon are determined by how much of the moon we can see from earth. The amount of the moon we see is determined by how much of the suns light is reflected from it back to us. As the moon moves round the earth and the earth moves round the sun the amount of light that gets bounced back from moon changes because of its different possitions.
How many lightyears is the moon from the 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.
How many miles away is the moon from Earth?
Much less than a light-year. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year; from the Moon, the light takes only a bit more than a second. The Moon is at an average distance of about 380,000 km. A light-year is about 9,500,000,000,000 km. If you divide the first number by the second, you'll get the number of light-years as a decimal.
How much brighter is the sun compared to the moon?
Well, the moon doesn't make it's own light. The moon reflects the light of the sun. As seen from earth the moon is bright, but it's like a mirror, the light is not it's own.
How much time the moon ray takes to come in the Earth?
The average time that it takes for light to travel from the moon's surface to the earth's surface or vice versa is about 1.255 seconds.
How much Time light takes to travel from sun to moon?
I believe it takes light from the sun about seven minutes to reach earth and moon. And light travels at 186,000 miles pre second !
Why does the Moon's appearance keep changing?
because the light on the moon is reflected by the earth so when the earth is not facing on the moon there is not that much light
How far in light years is the moon from the earth?
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)
Does the moon spin on its axis faster than the earth?
No. It's much slower. The Earth takes a day to spin round. The Moon takes a month.
What if the moon is bigger than the earth?
there will much light
How do the stars and moon collide?
They don't. The stars are nuch more distant than the moon. Consider this for how much further away the stars are: Light, which travels at a constant speed, takes a little more than a second to travel from the moon to Earth. Light from Proxima Centauri, the nearest star other than the sun, takes more than 4 years to reach Earth.
Which takes longer earth revolving around your sun or the moon revolving around earth How much time does each situation tak?
The Moon takes longer. The Earth spins once in 23 hours 56 minutes, while the Moon spins once in about 27 days.
How much is 0.0000000406?
the distance between Earth and the Moon in light years.
