This is simply refuted. It has been mentioned on Yahoo Answers before, by the way,
If they are the same thing as one another, how do you explain being able to see the moon during the day? i.e, seeing both of them at the same time?
Is everyone in the world suddenly seeing double? Like in the John Cleese mountaineering sketch?
How do you explain a solar eclipse when the moon passes in front of the sun's face, obscuring it for twenty minutes or so?
Is a dragon eating up the sun (and spitting it out again afterwards?) as the ancient Chinese once thought?
Or might they just possibly be two different objects? Which is the simplest explanation?

the sun is the sun, and the moon is the moon. They are different things. The sun is a star and the moon is a rock. The moon is light at night because it reflects the suns rays.

It isn't. At least it isn't where I come from. Where do you come from where they call them that?
At night, the sun cannot even be seen, but, the moon can. But, the moon can also be seen during the daytime, as long as it isn't so close to the sun in the sky that the brightness of the sun doesn't drown out the sliver of the moon's crescent.
But, who knows. Maybe in your part of the world, they do call the sun the moon at nighttime.

The Sun is the sun and the moon is the moon. The moon at night is lighted up by the reflection of the sun.

Erm? Are you joking?....The Sun is classified as a star which the Earth is in orbit around, the Moon is the Earths only satellite - 2 different objects

The sun and the moon are 2 different things. The moon is a satelit and the sun is a star.

The Moon is not the Sun. The Moon is a satellite of Earth. Earth is a satellite of the Sun. The Sun is a star, the Moon is a secondary planetary body of Earth.

Well the Sun is a star and is completely different from the moon.
They aren't the same thing.

What? The Moon is a rock that reflects the suns light. It's not the sun?

okay, so i don't think your dumb so this must be a riddle not a scientific question. So here are my solutions
1. because it's out of sight
2. because the same light is reflecting from a different source
3. moon is kinda similar to noon even though they're around at different times
