The moon circles the earth once every 28 days approximately. It keeps the same face towards the earth at all times and so as it circles the earth this means that, relative to the sun, it rotates once on its axis in this time.

Therefore the moon shows its rear side towards the sun when it is a new moon (and the face of the moon facing earth is dark), and its earth-facing sun towards the sun when it's full moon (and the moon is bright).

This new moon and full moon cycle lasts once every fourteen days.

Therefore the moon's night is 14 earth days long, and its day is also 14 earth days long.

Does the moon have anything to do with day and night?

No, the moon does not directly affect day and night. Day and night are caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. The moon's presence can affect the visibility of stars and planets during the night, but it does not impact the occurrence of day and night.

Why is it sometimes you can see the moon in the day and sometimes you can't see it at night?

You can see the moon in the day if it's in a specific phase and position in relation to the sun. During a full moon, it's visible both day and night. When the moon is a crescent or in a different phase, it may not be visible at night due to its position relative to the Earth and the sun.

Does the moon orbit cause night and day?

The Earth spinning every 24 hours causes day and night. The Moon has nothing to do with causing day or night. In fact, the moon spends just as much time in the daytime sky every month as it does in the night-time sky.
