This is not my belief but one that a young girl in my colege astonomy class held. Despite a lot of ribbing and scientific evidence to the contrary, this poor girl still believes what her Mother told her when she was a child.
Her belief was that the sun and the moon are the same. In other words, the sun turns into the moon when night falls.
