About

Our Moon Our Sun Our Solar System Earth seems to be a name in a sense, but it's actually describing the solid ground rather than addressing it as a whole planet. Moons of other planets are not named "Moon". We identify the stars in other solar systems as "Suns", but we give them names as well. I believe solar systems often take on the name of the sun that they contain. Do we then call our own solar system, the Sun System? Thank goodness someone had the decency to name our galaxy the Milky Way. From Dedric Mauriac via bloghud.com
