Is a 'block' and a 'page' the same thing in PostgreSQL?

Problem
I've seen many blogs and videos talking about Postgres 'blocks'. Are these the same as 'pages' in other database management system implementations?
Solution
If you're talking about the 8kB subdivisions of physical table storage, then yes.
These are usually called "pages" in Postgres as well, and that is the terminology used in the docs.
