"Most people are suprised to find out that the moon spends 50% of its time in the daylit hours."

Surely the moon (like the earth) spends 100% of its time in daylight (i.e. the sun is always shining [except during eclipses]).
Both bodies are revolving (24 hrs us, 28 days lunans), so only spend 50% of any local time in daylight.
