From the Earth, about one and a half seconds;
from the sun, about 8 minutes.

how long does the light from the moon reach the sun
it would take about $170,243,286,935 to reach the moon proven by M.I.T
alot
It took $170,000,000,000 (2005) to reach the moon through the Apollo Program. But it would take 38902 dollar bills lined up end to end to reach the moon
Well the Moon is 1 light second away from earth ( meaning if you were moving at the speed of light you would reach and pass the moon in 1 second ) and the Sun is about 8 light minutes away from us. Jupiter is maybe 4 light minutes?
I believe it takes light from the sun about seven minutes to reach earth and moon. And light travels at 186,000 miles pre second !
The Moon has no light of its own, it shines because the Sun's light is illuminating it. It takes the light from the Sun about 8 minutes to reach the Moon and 1.27 seconds to bounce off the Moon to your eyes. As the Moon orbits the Earth every 27 days, there are 27 days between one Full Moon and the next.
because nothing is faster than light. for example let's say it's a clear night and you have a flashlight with you if you take your flashlight and aim it at the moon it would reach the moon in 8 minutes, try to see if you could get to the moon in 8 minutes
Light from the sun takes about 81/3 minutes to reach the moon, and if it bounces off the moon in the direction of Earth, another 1.27 seconds from the moon to Earth.
Yes - the light takes approximately 8 minutes 20 seconds to hit the earth surface. In addition the Moon reflects the suns light so we see "moon light" which of course is in actual fact reflected sunlight
The moon does not emit light, rather it reflects it. The light from the sun shines on the moon, and it is reflected to earth.
The light from the Moon reflects off its surface and travels directly to Earth, while the light from distant objects in the universe has to travel a much greater distance before reaching Earth. Light from the Moon has a shorter distance to travel compared to light from more distant objects, which is why it arrives sooner.
It takes about 8 and one third minutes to get to the Moon. From the Moon to the Earth only takes a second or so. Of course the light may reach the Earth first, depending on where the Moon is in its orbit around Earth, but it hardly makes any difference.
The light from the sun reflects light to the full moon as the sun is always just opposite the full moon except during the new moon time, where there is no moon to be seen.
Yes , laser lights easily reach the moon. It should take about 1.3 seconds to reach it. The moon is about 239,000 miles away. Light travels at a constant 186,000 per second. So the math is easy.
