The noun 'moon' is a common noun as a general word for any moon of any planet.

The moon that is a satellite of the planet Earth is a proper noun as a word for a specific moon. The moons of other planets have individual names such as Mars' moon Phobos, or Neptune's moon Triton. The planet Earth's moon is simply called The Moon.
