1. Material, especially carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, that an organism uses for energy, growth, and maintaining the processes of life.

Quick Answer. The distance from the earth to the moon is 1.25 light seconds, which is roughly 238,900 miles. Light years are reserved for dealing with massive distances in outer space. One light year is the distance that light can travel in one year.
How long would it take from earth to the moon?   Obviously that would depend on your speed. 400000 km distance divided by, say, 40 km/hr would take you 10000 hours (over a year). At 400 km/hr it would only take you 1â¦000 hours (~somewhat over a month).
