It really depends if it is Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter.

When it is winter, the nights are much longer.

When it is summer, the nights are much shorter.

When it is Spring or Fall, the night time'will be as long as

the day simply because of the Equinox.

Nighttime occurs on the side of the Earth that has rotated away from the sun, such that no direct sunlight is reaching the surface (so it is dark outside). In other words, nighttime (or night) refers to the time period between sunset and sunrise.

12 hours.

14 days. The lunar cycle from visible full to moon to no visible moon is 28 days. So half that time is day and then night on the moon.

Why do lunar eclipses happen at night?

When you see a lunar eclipse, it's always at night on your part of the earth. -- A lunar eclipse can only occur at the exact time of the Full Moon. -- The Full Moon is visible only in the night sky. So obviously, if you are in a place where you can see the Full Moon, then you are in a place where you can see a lunar eclipse if one is in progress, and it is night-time where you are.

Can you go to to moon at night time only?

No. In fact, it would be more dangerous landing on the Moon "at night", because you wouldn't be able to see the rocks and craters. All of the Apollo missions landed on the Moon during the local day. Remember that the Moon always has the same face pointed at the Earth. The lunar day is two weeks long, as is the lunar night.
