there!

As far as I know, you use "Nature" when you want to refer to its abstract character - so "Nature" would refer to the "physical world in general" or "any natural space that is not specified".

If your meaning is more objective then it's better to use "nature" ("nature there is beautiful"). I think that referring to a person's character you always use "nature" and not "Nature". But again I'm not a specialist... I think the capital "N" is just a fancy resource to indicate impersonation, as if you place "nature" in the same level as an unknown person.

Addendum by David Laing, Stockton Springs, ME

The reason Nature is seldom capitalized is that Christian clerics have long maintained a policy of decapitalization of the names of entities, such as Nature, Earth, Sun, and Moon, that have been the objects of Pagan worship. This kind of antiquated religious bigotry has no place in modern literature and should be abandoned. It also makes sense to distinguish the name Nature from the noun nature as in 'the nature of Nature.'

A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing.

A common noun is capitalized only when it's the first word in a sentence.


Is ''mother'' capitalized in a sentence?

If the word "mother" is being used as a name, then yes, it is capitalized.For example: "May I have a raise on my allowance,Mother?" asked William. In this sentence, "mother" is being used as a name; therefore, it is treated as a proper noun and is capitalized.However, if it used simply as a regular noun, it would be incorrect to capitalize it.For example: William's mother blatantly refused to raise his allowance. Here, "mother" is being used as an object; therefore, it is not treated as a proper noun and is not capitalized.
