Remark We use the definite article ‘the’ in front of a noun when we are sure the interlocutor (hearer/reader) knows exactly what we are referring to because there is only one and it is unique: The moon goes around the earth.; The earth moves around the sun.The Moon is the natural satellite of the Earth, visible (chiefly at night) by reflected light from the sun. There is only one natural satellite of the earth that is why we use the definite article ‘the’ in front of the word ‘Moon’.
