We don't know for sure, but most astronomers today believe the moon is just slightly younger than the earth, as they believe the moon was torn from the earth by a very large object impacting earth when it was still semi-molten. Rough figure? The moon is somewhere around 200 million years younger than earth. Or thereabouts. Maybe. As I began - we don't know for sure.

Is the moon big?
Yes the moon is big compared to the human, but small in comparison to the earth.
What is the difference in percentage of the UV rays to the moon in comparison to the earth?
Of the total UV rays , the moon absorbs 96.2% of the sun's UV, we get only 3.8%.
Why does it take the same time as the light from the sun to reach earth as it does for the moon?
It doesn't always do that. At some points in the Moon's orbit around the Earth, the distance from the Sun to the Moon and Earth is the same. At other points, the Moon is either closer or farther away from the Sun. But either way the distance between the Moon and Earth is so much smaller than the distance between the Sun and the Moon, that the difference in time becomes really, really tiny in comparison.
