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.
