It's not the type of light; it's how far it has to go. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth. Since 8 minutes and 20 seconds is about 333 times as long as 1½ seconds, and since the speed of light is constant in a vacuum, that means that the sun is about 333 times as far from Earth as the moon.
