To produce sugar from sugar cane, the cane is crushed to extract the juice. The juice is then filtered to remove impurities and boiled to evaporate the water, leaving behind sugar crystals. These crystals are then further processed and refined to produce the sugar we use.
Sugar cane refers to the tall grass plant from which sugar is extracted. Cane sugar, on the other hand, is the crystallized sugar that is processed and refined from sugar cane. In short, sugar cane is the raw plant, while cane sugar is the refined product.

The basic process is to mash up the cane to extract the juice, then evaporate the liquid portion to leave behind the sugar. As you might imagine, there are intermediate steps of refining to get the pure white substance. Minimal refinement (such as just filtering to get out the shreds of cane) give brown sugar. Mild refinement gives "blonde" sugar (sometimes called "turbinado" sugar).
Sugar cane is slightly alkaline. The pH of sugar cane juice is typically around 7.5 to 8.0.
