Are you
the moon?
It
steals the sun's light,
and if you see it in the day it
just looks more like a stone.

1$\begingroup$ A good riddle has a unique answer, and yes, there seems to be one answer here which fits better than anything else. It's quite easy though: some harder riddles involve more different clues which less clearly point to a solution, so that it takes more time to figure out what that solution is, but there's still only one that fits everything. $\endgroup$ Apr 7, 2020 at 19:38

The answer could be
The moon
As it take the light of the sun and turns it into its own i.e. it reflects the light of the sun
And also it is not seen during the day so it can be said that it turns into a stone
or it is... well... made of stone

You could also be:
One of these:
I take the light
They are solar-powered
Turn it into my own
They emit light at night from energy collected during the day
Then at day
Turn to stone
They do not light up during the day, so are as useful as a stone.

Partial answer. I was thinking about:
Tree
I take the light
Turn it into my own
Trees take the light and feed on it through Photosynthesis. Hence, they convert the light into themselves.
Then at day
Turn to stone
Don't know.

$\begingroup$ For the 'turn to stone' part, maybe you could come up with an explanation having to do with petrification. I'm not sure how you could tie in 'day', though. $\endgroup$ Apr 8, 2020 at 13:29
