a fraction of a second ... but usually a single day (or night) it's close enough.
But it looks full for about 3 days
technically, a full moon represents the instant that the moons shadow completely disappears because of it's alignment with the earth and the sun. This is known as a lunar phase. On average, humans can not determine the exact moment this lunar phase occurs without the aid of a telescope. Therefore, the full moon appears to remain full for a period of 36 hours - 18 hours before this lunar phase and 18 hours after - to the naked eye.

Whenever you see the moon, its shape is described by one of the names given to the phases.
Phobos doesn't orbit the moon. It orbits Mars.
Nighttime would last for about 14 Earth days if you were on the Moon's equator, as the Moon's rotation period is 28 days. This means that one full rotation of the Moon would result in 14 days of daylight followed by 14 days of nighttime.
The symbol for nighttime is typically a moon, while the symbol for daytime is typically a sun.

It helps them see at night better.
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".
Yes. it is very hot in the daytime and very cold in the nighttime.
The duration of nighttime in a typical 24-hour day is approximately 12 hours.
No, because the moon orbits the Earth. If you are in Egypt and it is nighttime, the moon would likely be visible somewhere in the sky above you, not on the other side of the Earth.
