As the one answerer said, the lunar day is uniform in length, only much longer than an earth day. I will add that the earth would appear to stay in the same part of the sky if you were on the moon. You would see it go through phases and you would see it rotating, but it would always be in the same position.
The expression, "dark side of the moon," is fallacious. It always keeps the same side away from the earth, but it doesn't keep the same side away from the sun.

it would appear bigger i think. but the sun never moves anyway, its always the earth moving around which gives the impression of the sun rising and setting. im sure it would be the same on the moon, just dont get caught on the dark side, may be cold.
ps, the sun probably spins but ur question seems to imply that u think the sun goes round the earth

on a moon day you would see a sunrise and a sunset, you would see the earth all the time though, unless you where standing on the dark side whitch is the face of the moon facing oposite to earth.

well since its rotating around the earth like the earth rotates around the sun, i would think it would be like looking at the cinter of one of those teacup rides at amusement parks

Yes, it would. Every Moon 'day' would be about 27.25 Earth days long.

in terms of perception, it seem very irregular at first, but after a while, the rotation would be more understood and anticipated, making it "normal"
