英语表示自然界某些独一无于的事物(如sun, moon, sky等)通常不可数,一般不连用不定冠词,而是习惯上连用定冠词。如:

The sun rose above the sea. 太阳升出海面。

今天阳光不多。

The sun shines brightly.

但是,当它们受到描绘性形容词的修饰时,如果不是特指,则其前要用不定冠词,此时的a含有 a kind of 的意思。如:

A cloudy sky is not always a sign of rain. 阴天不一定是下雨的预兆)。

Day broke and a brilliant sun lit up the room. 天亮了,灿烂的阳光照亮了房间。

另外,当sun表示“星体”“恒星”时,它是可数的;当moon表示“卫星”时,也是可数的。如:
