Well i think, a moment is something thats is a little bit longer, Something Long enough to make a memory out of like maybe 3 minutes or so. A instant is right away, right this very second like, Bobby come here this instant. Unless your making like instant coffee of instant hot chocoloate then its like 2 to 3 minutes. I think it all depends on what your doing.

How long is a moment? Some say, a moment spent gazing into a lover's eyes is like an eternity. But eternity is a long time, much longer than the fleeting passions flickering in the eyes of two people in love. Still, there is that stillness. Those sleepy-eyed blinks shared between lapses of slumber at night and quiet glances exchanged in noisy bars.
A moment can be a very long time when shared in a bed with the world kept firmly at bay. Shut out, shuttered away, the world seems but a distant memory with only the cackles of madmen and youths piercing the walls. And who cares about the noise anyway? When one is sharing a moment with the one one loves.
But how long does that moment last? There is a species of embrace that lives forever and then there those whose warmth is lost like a morning dream freshly forgotten. Yet some moments persist in dreams shared over and over with the one one loves. Father Time is always there. The chaperone holds the sands of the hourglass in his porous hands and reminds us: that moment has passed.
There is only one way to know how long "just a moment" will last. Share the moment. Share it for while or share it forever.

A moment is no longer than it needs to be. An instant is as short as it can be.

No idea.
But it was Einstein - believe it or not - who compared his Theory of relativity to two examples.
A man can have a beautiful woman sit on his lap and not know how long she's there for till she gets up.
A man can sit on a red-hot oven - and not believe how long it takes him to get up!
The terms are indistinct and imprecise.
