Yes. When we speak of our star, it is "the Sun". Other solar systems each have their own suns, but ours is special - to US. Our Moon is capitalized, where the moons of other planets - or moons in general - are not.

It's a little odd, have a proper noun for generic terms like "sun" and "moon", but when the ancients gave them those names, they didn't realize that the stars were other suns, and that most planets would have moons. Even the Earth has a generic name; "earth" means "dirt".

If you look at the bright part of the Moon, that is where the Sun is shining so it has to be day. But away from the Sun the sky still looks dark.


Why do you see different phases of the moon if the same side is always facing the earth?

The phases of the moon are the result of the ever-changing positions of the Earth, moon, and sun relative to one another. When the moon and the sun are on opposite sides of the earth (whereby the sun, earth, and moon form a straight line), a full moon occurs. When the moon and sun are on the same side of the earth (whereby the sun,moon, and earth form a straight line), a new moon occurs.
