False. When any spot on the earth is on the side facing the sun, that spot experiences a condition known as "daylight". At the moment when that spot is pointing directly toward the sun, the moment is called local "noon". The sun is then highest in the sky at that spot, and shadows are the shortest. All of these phenomena take place during the portion of the axial rotation period known at that spot as "day".

Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night). During a new moon, the opposite is true. The side of the moon that faces the earth is in shadow (night) and the side that faces away from the earth is exposed to the sun (day).

Is it night time in ALL parts of the world in th SAME time?
No. Day and night is determined by what part of Earth is facing the sun. Half of the Earth faces toward the sun and half of earth faces away from the sun. As the Earth spins on it's axis, we get daylight in one side of the earth, and night time in the other side of the earth. It is never possible to have night time, or day time, on all the earth at the exact same time.
