No. Just like almost every place on earth, almost every place on the moon has a 'daytime' ... when
the sun is up and the ground is light ... followed by a 'nighttime' ... when the sun is down and the
ground is dark.
On earth, the sun-up and sun-down periods average out to 12 hours each. On the moon, they
average out to almost two earth-weeks each.

When does the dark side of the moon face earth?
There is no "dark side" of the moon, meaning a side that's always dark. When it's nighttime on the moon on its near side, we see a New Moon. When it's nighttime on the far side, we see a Full Moon.The moon always keeps one face toward Earth, and to do that the moon has to rotate once on its axis every month. If you put a chair in the middle of the room, and you walk around the chair always facing it, then you'll find that you have to turn your body once with respect to the rest of the room before you can make one complete circuit around the chair.The moon does something similar. It always keeps one face toward the Earth - but to do that it has to spin on its axis once a month, at the same time that it's moving in its orbit around Earth. The moon's spin on its axis is what makes it possible for the moon to have a near side and a far side as seen from Earth.
What does it mean when somone says 'Mysterious as the dark side of the moon'?

How much of the moon iis always lit up by sun?
All sides are lit up. Only one side at a time. There is a term called the dark side of the moon. This term relates to the fact that the moon doesnt spin on its axis like the earth does and one side faces the earth all of the time. The dark side refers not to the abscence of light but radio waves. During the Apollo missions to the moon, as a spacecraft went behind the moon (in relation to the earth) It went into whats called a radio blackout. It was called the dark side because up until the first spacecraft orbited the moon, it had never been seen by man before.

When the moon is in its new phase what can you infer about the opposite side of the moon?
The far side of the moon is always opposite of the visible side. When the moon is new, it is between the Sun and the earth. Since we see the dark side of the moon, the opposite side must be fully lit by the sun. Likewise when we see a gibbous moon, the far side would be a crescent. When we see a full moon, the far side is in complete darkness.
What does “The Dark Side of the Moon” mean?
Literally there is a far side of the moon being the side we don't see from Earth. But it's not always dark. You will notice you can always see the same craters on the moon every night from where you live, you never get to see the other side.Abstractly it could mean the side we see is referred to as 'good' and the other side 'evil' so the dark side of the moon is referring to opposite of its good counterpart.
Why is there always a dark side of the moon?
The phenomenon of the "dark side of the moon" is not due to the moon being dark, but rather to the fact that the same side of the moon always faces the Earth. This is because the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit period, a phenomenon known as synchronous rotation. The far side of the moon is not always dark but is simply hidden from view from Earth.
