I'm pretty sure that the moon "shining" is just the sun's reflection off the surface of the moon. With that I'd have to guess that if/when the moon is visible to those on Earth (day or night) the same holds true.

First of all, the moon doesn't give off any light. It doesn't "shine", it reflects light from the sun.
Second of all, the moon and the sun are constants just like Earth. The moon doesn't "come out at night". It's always there.

Because the shine of the moon is the refection of the light sent by the sun in our galaxy, and that process is 24/7; except in the new moon, because the shadow of the Earth is covering the moon.

if you notice that only happens near the end of a moon cycle because we are spining faster than the moon which is causing the earth to move quicker and the moon cycle happens every mounth.
