Should you capitalize the word 'sun'?

No, the word 'sun' should not be capitalized unless it is being used as part of a proper noun or at the beginning of a sentence. In general, common nouns like 'sun' are not capitalized in English. However, if 'Sun' is used to refer to our specific star, it is considered a proper noun and should be capitalized. For example, "The Sun is the center of our solar system." Additionally, if 'sun' is the first word in a sentence, it should be capitalized as per the standard rules of capitalization.
