The moon does not have day and night cycles .. it is tidally locked to Earth

[jhughes]

So, I get the game gets harder on the dark side and easier on the light side if you do this .. but the moon does not rotate and if you are in the sunlight then you will be in it forever.

[Shadak]

bro, you are so wrong. The moon is tidal locked to earth not to the sun...

[Psycho]

sounds like you heard about the "dark side of the moon" and believed its called that because its always dark.

you know new moon or full moon?

[Krycek]

Seriously? The moon does rotate, at the same rate as it orbits the Earth that's what tidally locked is. As mentioned, new moon and full moon.

The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, that is true. So one side of the Moon is facing the Earth. But the Moon also rotates around the Earth. And what happens when the Moon is on the opposite side of the planet? For example, we can have the Earth, Moon and Sun in a "line" and the order is:
1) Sun - Earth - Moon
2) Sun - Moon - Earth
In the first case, the front side of the Moon faces the Earth and also the Sun. The front side has sun light.
In the second case, the front side of the Moon faces the Earth, it is tidally locked, there is no other option. But now the back side of the Moon is facing the Sun. The front side has dark night.
Even on the moon you have day and night, only day and night last longer than on Earth.

Approximately 14 Earth days of Sun and 14 earth days of night which is what the game has. It would have been less embarrassing to ask ChatGPT or Googled it before posting.
