Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night). During a new moon, the opposite is true. The side of the moon that faces the earth is in shadow (night) and the side that faces away from the earth is exposed to the sun (day).

How many seconds in a day on the Moon?
The Moon is "tidally locked" and always has the same face turned to the Earth. So, the rotation period equals the orbital period. The Moon rotates once (a sidereal day) per 27.321582 Earth days. So, that's the length of the Moon's "sidereal day". The "daylight" is about 14 days long, and the nights are about the same length. (If you're on the "near side" of the Moon, then the lunar night is at least sort-of illuminated by the nearly full Earth, which is WAY brighter than the full Moon.) So the answer is: about 2,360,580 seconds.

What causes the moon to have day and night?
The same thing that causes the Earth to have day and night; the Moon spins. Slowly, it is true. The Moon always has the same face turned toward the Earth, but since the Moon orbits the Earth that means that the Moon spins (relative to the Sun) once per orbit. So a "day" on the Moon lasts a little over 14 days, and the lunar "night" is just as long.
