If you stay at the same place on the moon and don't move around, then

you see the sun rise, take two weeks to slowly cross the sky, then set at

the opposite horizon, and stay gone for another two weeks. A closer figure

is 29.53 days for the complete day-night cycle.

If the Earth is in the sky as seen from where you are on the moon, then it's

always there, in virtually the same place without ever moving. It never sets,

and it displays a full set of phases every 29.53 days. If the Earth is not in the

sky from where you are, then it never rises, and you never see it at all.

What makes the Moon unique in this regard is that while it always faces its face toward Earth, it's period of rotation [around it's axis] is the same as it's period of revolution [around the Earth]; as in one rotation per revolution.

No, it is not always dark on the moon. The moon experiences day and night cycles just like Earth, with each day lasting about 29.5 Earth days. During the day, the sun shines on the moon's surface, while at night, the moon is in shadow.


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.
