| Dec 3, 2020 at 6:23 | comment | added | Peter - Reinstate Monica | Most people around the world call their tribe or people "People" in their language... a surprising number of mountains have the name "White Mountain" in the respective language, and significant rivers are often called "Big River". Even in the U.S. there's more than one "Big River". | |

| Dec 1, 2020 at 23:32 | comment | added | uhoh | @JamesK It's not "ours" but okay. It's not possible that a cogent person would not know what “Do Earth's star and moon have names?” means, though I still struggle to know if it should be “Does”. Planets are generally understood to have stars around which they orbit. It is suspected that there are some exceptions, but those are exceptions (see what I did there?) | |
| Dec 1, 2020 at 23:27 | comment | added | James K | What is "Earth's star" supposed to mean? That title edit didn't made the question far more confusing. The grammatically correct version by Glorfinel was clearer. I'm rolling back | |

| Nov 30, 2020 at 23:19 | comment | added | uhoh | Related in Space Exploration SE: Does the moon have a name? As shown in this answer NASA sometimes uses "Luna" as a backup name for Earth's natural satellite. | |
| Nov 30, 2020 at 16:26 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | I get the confusion for the moon, as there are many celestial objects which are called moons, so "The Moon" may not seem like a name. But there is only one Sun - it's a completely unique identifier for our star. What would suggest that this commonly used, unique identifier is not a name? | |
