Re: Sun or the Sun? Moon or the Moon?

I am confused by the usage of the article "the" in connection with
Moon and Sun. We live on Earth but we are looking at the Moon or at
the Sun. I see no uniformity about this in what I am reading.

I have no problem understanding any of it. Of what importance
is uniformity? Surely one must fault Shakespeare severely for
his language if uniformity is to be considered important.
