The moon is a heavenly body that orbits our fair earth. The lit section of the moon the we see here on earth is the direct sunlight bouncing off of IT. It is day time on the moon in the LIT section. Imagine what the Earth would look like from space when an astronaut sees both the day and night side at the same time. The darker part of the moon is the section where the moon doesnt quite face the sun. Its nighttime on the moon there. Most of the time, when the moon and sun are in the sky at the same time, you can clearly see the moon. When the moon is too near the sun, around the time of the new moon, it is not visible except of course if there is an eclipse.

How much time does it take to reflect the sun to the moon?

"To reflect the sun to the moon?" Your question does not make sense as worded. It takes a little over a second for sunlight to reflect from the moon to earth, if that is what you are asking. The sun does not reflect anything--it can't. Sunlight takes 8.3 minutes to reach the moon, then a bit over a second to get from the moon to earth.
