Probably. Also in words like "apogee" and "perigee" - though I admit to a sentimental fondness for the solar equivalents, "aphelion" and "perihelion" - and expressions like "down-to-earth". We also see this tendency in phrases like "under a yellow sun" or "the moons of Mars". There's only one Sun and one Moon, after all.
