Does the moon have one side in constant daylight and one side in constant darkness?
No, the moon always has the same side facing toward the earth, and the changing angle of sunlight on the moons face creates the waxing and waning effect we see on the moons surface. The far side of the moon, the side we cannot see from the earth is sometimes eroneously refered to as th dark side of the moon. It is only "dark" in the sense that we cannot see it from here.
What are the moons dark spots?

Why does the moon have different temperatures even though there is no atmosphere?
The moon is in an orbit where it will never face us. Whenever the moons dark side is faced away it will always be in the shade, thus making it colder. Same with the bright side. Fun fact for you: The Apollo astronauts were the only people to see the dark side of the moon.

If a planet has 62 moons would it be dark or light?
it depends if its near a sun. remember, MOONS AND PLANETS ARE NOT LIGHT SOURCES. they simply reflect the suns light. therefore, if they are not near enough to a sun, the moons would be dark, as would the planet, cos there is hardly any light to reflect. (oh and there is no known planet with 62 moons.)
Is it night time on Uranus?

because of its size and gravitational pull it gathers many moons over years and years of rotation.there is no telling what happens on the other side of the sun when we are on this side.
