The distance to the moon is about 1.3 light seconds or about 0.000000032 light years.
The moon is about 0.0000000406 light years away from earth. Clearly, the moon is MUCH too close (238,000 or 239,000 miles or so) for the distance to be rendered meaningfully in light years.
The average distance between Earth and the Moon is about 384,400 km. One light year is the distance light travels in one year, approximately 9.46 trillion km. So, the smallest distance is from Earth to the Moon.
Ganymede, the largest moon of Jupiter, is about 666 million kilometers away from Earth on average. This distance is equivalent to approximately 0.00007 light years.
Much less than a light-year. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year; from the Moon, the light takes only a bit more than a second. The Moon is at an average distance of about 380,000 km. A light-year is about 9,500,000,000,000 km. If you divide the first number by the second, you'll get the number of light-years as a decimal.

the distance between Earth and the Moon in light years.
The distance from the Moon to Earth is a little more than one light-SECOND, meaning it takes light a little over a second to travel that distance.
The average distance to the Moon is 384,399 kilometres = 4.06318742 × 10-8 light years (Note the minus) The moon is only a tiny fraction of one light year from earth. It takes light from the sun eight minutes to reach earth, and the moon is much closer to earth than the sun. Measuring such a small distance in light years is possible but impractical. ======================================= The moon is roughly 1.27 light seconds from the earth. (rounded) 1.27 light seconds is the same as 0.0000000406 light year. (rounded)

Laser light.
Much less than a light-year. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year; from the Moon, the light takes only a bit more than a second. The Moon is at an average distance of about 380,000 km. A light-year is about 9,500,000,000,000 km. If you divide the first number by the second, you'll get the number of light-years as a decimal.
The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 1.28 light-seconds. This means it takes light about 1.28 seconds to travel from the Earth to the Moon.
Approximately 1.28 light seconds away from Earth is the Moon. The average distance between Earth and the Moon is about 1.28 light seconds.
