How long would it take nasa to travel a light year?

There is currently no technology that would enable human astronauts, from NASA or from any other organization, to travel one light year. There are some theoretical proposals for ideas that might work, but nothing even on the horizon for now.

How did NASA know that the Moon's gravity was less than that on the earth before they got there?

NASA knew the mass of the Moon before going and could calculate the pull of gravity relative to the earth. Weight is just the measurement of the strength of gravity while mass is how much material is packed into any one object. Gravity increases as the mass of an object increases so the Moon being much smaller than the earth would therefore have less gravity.

How many times NASA go to moon?

There were 17 Apollo missions altogether, although not all of these went to the moon. Many were simply test missions, some unmanned, and some in earth orbit only. Of the missions that went to the moon, Apollo 8 was the first mission to reach the moon, orbit it and return, followed by the next mission to the moon, Apollo 10. However both these missions were not designed to land on the moon's surface but were designed to test the equipment and to look for suitable landing sites. Apollo 13 also reached the moon, but, because of an explosion on board, was not able to land but returned to earth having made a 'free return trajectory' around the moon. The missions that actually landed on the moon were Apollo 11 (the first) followed by 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 after which the Apollo programme was cancelled. So the number of mission to the moon in the Apollo programme was 9 missions, six of which made a landing, meaning that 12 astronauts in total have walked on the moon's surface to date.
