Yes. The words "sun, earth, and moon" are proper nouns when the sentence uses them in an astronomical context. However, "the sun is shining", should not be capitalised.

What is the moon on the earth called?
The moon that accompanies Earth is simply called "Moon" - note that it is written with a capital "M", since in this case it is used as a proper name.
How much of the moon is always lit?
Half the Moon is always lit, unless the Moon is eclipsed by the Earth.
Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
During the summer does the earth face the moon?
some part of the earth ALWAYS faces the moon. ALWAYS (its a big ball we live on)

Yes. The Moon's rotation on its axis is in sync with it's orbit around Earth. Therefore, the near side of the Moon is always facing Earth.

The moon orbits the Earth, so it is always visible from some point on Earth.
What is the earth moon called?
The moon that accompanies Earth is simply called "Moon" - note that it is written with a capital "M", since in this case it is used as a proper name.
How much of the earth is always lit by the sun?
Half of the moon is always lit by the sun, unless the sun is eclipsed by the Earth. The portion of the illuminated moon viewed from Earth depends on the moon's orbit. As the moon orbits, different portions of shadow and illumination are seen from Earth, creating the moon's phases.
Is the moon always the same?
What on earth (or rather the moon) is that supposed to mean?!

The Moon.
Why do we always see the same side of the moon from the earth?
Because the moon turns as it goes around the Earth.
