light years are billions of miles long, the moon is only ~250,000 miles from the earth
try taking how many miles light travels in 1 second 186,000 miles, multiply that by 31,557,600 and you get your answer
hint, there are 365.25 days in a year, that is how we get a leap year every 4 years.

None. Light years are the amount of time it takes for light to travel in a year. It takes hardly any time at all to travel to the moon in light years.

none. it's relatively close to earth. it orbits earth due to earth's gravitaional pull on the moon. our planet's gravitational pull doesn't span lightyears out into space. a light year is the amount of distance light travels in a year. which is mindblowingly far. light is the fastest traveling substance in the universe known to man. so one lightyear is billions of miles long. i think the moon is only a few thousand miles away (maybe more or less?)

a light year is the distance light goes in a year and the moon is 250,000 miles away c*year
the moon is only about 2 light SECONDS away

Light year is a distance, not a length of time.
A light year is about 9 trillion kilometers.
The moon is only about 380,000 kilometers away.

The answer is ZERO.
The moon is to close for the travel time to be calculated this way.

about 1.5 light seconds, actually. If you were to send a message to the moon with very strong radar, then the message would be pretty current, to about 1.5 seconds accuracy.
