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.

Okay, yes, you got me. 100% of it's time in daylight. Locally visible 50% during the day, 50% during the night. :-)
