It takes about 1.28 seconds for light to travel from the moon to Earth. So if the moon were to travel at the speed of light, it would complete an orbit around the Earth in approximately 1.28 seconds.

It takes about 1.3 seconds since the distance between the Earth and the Moon is 230,100 miles and light travels 186,282 miles per second.
The Moon would continue to orbit the Sun, possibly in a different orbit. Assuming the Moon kept its (Earth) orbital velocity, this would cause it to move either slightly closer or slightly farther from the Sun. The Moon's relative velocity to the Earth is about 1 km/sec whereas the Earth-Moon system orbits the Sun at 30 km/sec. The sudden disappearance of the Earth would mean the continuation of the Moon's solar orbit, albeit possibly altered.
A spaceship traveling from the moon to Earth at a typical speed of about 2.38 km/s would take approximately 3 days to cover the distance of about 384,400 km. The actual time may vary depending on the specific trajectory and speed of the spaceship.

The Apollo spacecraft took 3 days to travel from the Earth to the moon.

as long as the earth's been round!
It would not be possible to travel to the moon by jet, as jets are not capable of reaching the necessary speed and altitude to escape Earth's atmosphere and travel to the moon. Rockets are used for space travel to reach the moon.
It takes 28 days for the moon to travel round the earth.
The Apollo missions took about three days to reach the moon from earth orbit
It would take about the same amount of time to travel 1 mile on the moon as it would on Earth, assuming similar modes of transportation. The moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th that of Earth's, so you would experience less resistance while moving.
The Space Shuttle does not go to the moon. It only orbits the Earth.
That would be it's orbit. The moon orbits the earth in roughly a circular path.
It would take approximately 6.5 days to travel from Earth to the Moon at an average speed of 600 mph. The distance between Earth and the Moon is about 238,855 miles.
The space shuttle does not travel to the moon. The Apollo missions used spacecraft, not space shuttles, to travel to the moon. It took the Apollo missions around 3 days to travel from Earth to the moon.
