That would be pretty close. The moon averages between 250,000 and 500,000 miles away so it would be roughly between 1 and a half and 3 light seconds.

BTW when I took a pic of the supermoon, my camera actually told me how far away it was. I know it was estimating, but I thought that was kind of cool.
