One complete lunar 'day' is about 29.5 Earth days. So any spot on the moon has

the sun up in its sky and light for 14.7 Earth days, followed by the sun down and

not in the sky and darkness for the next 14.7 Earth days.

How many hours in one day and night on the moon?

Though the Moon always shows just one face to Earth, it revolves around the Earth in about 28 days. You would expect that 14 of those [Earth] days on the Moon would be Sunlit and 14 in darkness. [one fortnight for sunlight and the same for night] So a Moon day takes about 14 times 24 Earth hours, and as many for a night on the Moon.
