It can do in special circumstances, but first understand that the Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours and this means that for all people round the Earth for 1/2 of this period they are facing the Sun and during this period it is light and daytime. For the other 12 hours they are facing away form the Sun and therefore in the dark shadow of the earth and it is night.
The ONLY time the Moon can make it dark is when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun during the day (it does this about once a year) and this causes an eclipse. However the shadow of the Moon is only very small only a small bit of the earth goes dark.

∙ 12y agoFrom our vantage point, this is possible just after sunset when the moon is in the waxing crescent phase, or just before sunrise when the moon is in the waning crescent phase, if "top" is defined as "away from the horizon" and "bottom" is defined as "toward the horizon".

∙ 14y agoNo. Except during a lunar eclipse, one half of the Moon is always in sunlight. That's not always the half that is visible from Earth, however; at the "new moon", the half of the Moon that we can see is having its lunar "night".

Why do frogs have a light colored bottom and a dark top?
Think of it like this..... If a predator is looking down from the sky, the dark top of the frog will blend well with the ground and dark waters. And if a predator under the water looks up to the surface, the bottom of the frog would blend well with the sky. So frogs have light bottoms and dark tops so they can blend well in their surroundings and be safe from most predators! :)
