Like the Earth, the moon rotates on its axis. This means that the surface of the moon has a sunlit and sunless time. This creats a lunar day and night. The lunar day/night cycle is about 28 Earth days long.
Yes, it can be argued that Moon has a day time and night time. Day time is when the moon is shining bright above the sky, night time is when the moon is dark. Hence the term "Dark Side of the Moon".
Day happens because we are in the sun's direct light. The sun seems to "arise" when actually the earth is rotating. The moon can be out in the "daytime" the moon's orbit around the earth has little to do with night and day. Although the moon is brighter at night.
The moon appears brighter at night than during the daytime because the level of outdoor illuminance is less than that of the moon.
Out of every 24 hours, the moon is up in the sky for about 12hours 49minutes. In the course of a month, it spends the same number of hours in the daytime sky as it does in the night-time sky. The way it works out, though, the moon's phase ... the amount that's illuminated ... is smaller in the day and larger at night, on the long-term average. Technically, the Full Moon rises at sunset, so it's the only phase that's not visible in the daytime.
