The time required by moonlight to reach the earth is ________

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Light travels through space at just over 186,000 miles per second. The moon is just under 250,000 miles from Earth, so light from the Moon's surface has to travel more than one second (about 1.3 seconds) to reach us.
