No, the ground wire should be attached to the green or bare copper wire. The black wires are typically live or hot wires and should never be connected to the ground wire.
The copper wire is the ground wire and should be connected to the ground screw on the light fixture mounting bracket or to the ground wire in the ceiling box if present. Make sure to turn off the power at the breaker before working on the wiring.
For a 200 amp service panel to the water meter, it is recommended to use a 4 AWG copper wire or 2 AWG aluminum wire as the ground wire. This will provide sufficient grounding capacity for the service panel and meet code requirements. Be sure to check local electrical codes for specific requirements in your area.

The green wire from the light fixture should be attached to the ground wire in the electrical box to provide grounding for safety purposes. This helps prevent electrical shocks and protects against electrical malfunctions.
Yes, if it is not an insulated wire. If it is bare copper it is always ground. But the hot and neutral wire are also copper, they are just insulated.

If you mean a bare copper wire, that is the "ground" wire.
Black wire to copper screw, white wire to silver screw, bare copper ground wire to green ground screw.
# 10 bare copper.

Not always. You could have a conduit with 10 pairs of 14 gauge wire - not every wire in that bundle are going to be ground. Ground is usually identified as having a green coating on the wire ... sometimes it is just bare copper strands or a solid copper wire.
Ground is sized based on the size of the feeder wire and not the amps of the service! However, for a 600 amp service 1500MCM copper wire is one option (NEC 310.16) ;therefor, ground wire is 3/O copper (NEC 250.66) or another option is a two sets of 350 MCM copper wire then a #2 copper (since the biggest feeder wire is 350MCM).
