Should the word "The" in each be capitalized, because it's part of the name? Or just the main part of the name, e.g. "the Sun", "the Moon", and "the Internet"?

  1. no  the unless it begins a sentence is usually never capitalized


  2. You do not need to capitalise "the"

  3. The "the" need not be capitalized.

  4. According to the Chicago Manual of Style, Internet is capitalized, although it debates on its own website whether that standard will change in the near future.  Sun and moon are capitalized when they are used in context with astronomical terms (the astronauts successfully landed on the Moon).  Sun and moon are not capitalized, though, when preceded by the word "the" out of astronomical context ("to the moon, Alice!").
