If your question is 'Does the Sun hide behind the Moon at night?' Then no, it doesn't. As the Earth rotates on its axis and orbits the sun, different parts of the Earth are exposed to the Sun's light, this is the reason behind different time zones. For example Australia has a different daytime to ours because the Sun is over that area at a different time to the UK. So to answer your question, the Sun is just in a different area of the Earth at night time. The moon then 'comes up' because the Sun's rays are lighting up the surface of the moon, the rays are direct onto its surface, making it glow.
