The first moon landing was a stupendous technical achievement, and probably remains to this day the most remarkable accomplishment of the human race. It is so difficult to travel to the moon and return safely to Earth that it is quite amazing that we were able to do it. Aside from that, the moon landing was significant in a number of other ways. Because the US was able to do this when the USSR wasn't, the moon landing became part of the international public relations competition between the western world and the Soviet bloc. The Soviet Union, which always claimed to be superior to the decadent capitalist west in every way, obviously wasn't. The moon landing was also inspiring to a generation of scientists, who went on to create much more technology which has transformed the world very profoundly, since the moon landing in 1969, and which has made it possible for you & I to have this discussion on the internet.
July 20, 1969 was a Sunday
The first moon landing was by Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969
Because during the moon landing, whilst Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon he stayed orbiting the moon for a day, completely alone. At times he lost all communications meaning he had no idea what was happening on the moon or earth.
The length of a "day" on the moon is 29 Earth days.

They landed during the lunar morning. A full day/night on the moon lasts about 29 days on Earth, so the Lunar morning lasted nearly a week.

A day on the moon is 29.5 Earth days. The moon takes 27.3 days to fully orbit the Earth. This is called a sidereal day.
It isn't. A "day on the Moon" is about 29.5 Earth days; a year is about 365 days.
Because the Moon Turns Slower Then The Earth.

No. In fact, it would be more dangerous landing on the Moon "at night", because you wouldn't be able to see the rocks and craters. All of the Apollo missions landed on the Moon during the local day. Remember that the Moon always has the same face pointed at the Earth. The lunar day is two weeks long, as is the lunar night.
The first moon landing was on Sunday, July 20, 1969.
