#askleo did the Apollo missions involve being on the moon for a few hours only and during Lunar Morning / Sun Rise?

Yes, Apollo surface stays were short: Apollo 11 ~2.5 hours total EVAs; Apollo 17 up to ~22 hours across 3 EVAs. All during lunar morning (local sunrise to noon) to ensure safe temps/lighting after ~14-day lunar night. Check mission timelines from NASA.
