summer rain is an unknown quantity at this point
Smile punctuation question

The article "the". Does it have to be capitalized when writing for example:

The United Kingdom , The Empire State ,or when writing famous titles names??
Or
We can just write the United Kingdom or the White House?
Which is more preferable
