No it is not lit up all day.
Approximately 50% of Earth's surface is always lit (daytime) due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis around the sun.
The amount of the moon's surface that is lit up by the sun varies depending on the moon's position in its orbit. During a full moon, the entire visible side of the moon is illuminated, while during a new moon, none of the visible side is lit up. This is because the amount of sunlight reaching the moon changes as it orbits the Earth.
