Best Answer

That depends on your definition of a night. A lunar night lasts about earth 14 days. No one has stayed on the moon more than about 3 earth days. The simpler answer to your question would be yes. All 6 crews spent at least one night on the lunar surface.

Apollo 11 - 1 night

Apollo 12 & 14 - 2 nights each

Apollo 15, 16 & 17 - 3 nights each

The reason the later crews were able to spend more time on the surface is because their Lunar Modules had bigger fuel tanks and an additional oxygen tank.

The basic mission of Apollo 11 was just to prove they could land. That's why they had the shortest stay of any of the lunar landing missions.

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.


Why is the moon seen at night only?

The Moon is not seen only at night. The Moon can be seen whenever it is over the horizon and can reflect light back to the viewer. Is it often visible in the daytime, but as it is only reflecting light it can be difficult to see against the bright sky.

Why does the moon have different shapes at different times of the mouth?

The earth casts a shadow upon the moon. As the position of the moon at night changes over a monthly schedule. This is why the moon waxes and wanes. And why when the moon is directly between the earth and the sun you can an eclipse. Where as at peak when there is no shadow you get a full moon.
