Is it der, die oder das Mond?
DER
The correct article in German of Mond is der. So it is der Mond! (nominative case)
The word Mond is masculine, therefore the correct article is der.
Finding the right gender of a noun
German articles are used similarly to the English articles,a and the. However, they are declined differently (change) according to the number, gender and case of their nouns.
In the German language, the gender and therefore article is fixed for each noun.
The most difficult part of learning the German language is the articles (der, die, das) or rather the gender of each noun. The gender of each noun in German has no simple rule. In fact, it can even seem illogical. For example das Mädchen, a young girl is neutral while der Junge, a young boy is male.
It is a good idea to learn the correct article for each new word together - even if it means a lot of work. For example learning "der Hund" (the dog) rather than just Hund by itself. Fortunately, there are some rules about gender in German that make things a little easier. It might be even nicer if these rules didn't have exceptions - but you can't have everything! The best way to learn them is with the App - Der-Die-Das Train! (available for iOS and Android)
German nouns belong either to the gender masculine (male, standard gender) with the definite article der, to the feminine (feminine) with the definite article die, or to the neuter (neuter) with the definite article das.
for masculine: points of the compass, weather (Osten, Monsun, Sturm; however it is: das Gewitter), liquor/spirits (Wodka, Wein, Kognak), minerals, rocks (Marmor, Quarz, Granit, Diamant);
for feminine: ships and airplanes (die Deutschland, die Boeing; however it is: der Airbus), cigarette brands (Camel, Marlboro), many tree and plant species (Eiche, Pappel, Kiefer; aber: der Flieder), numbers (Eins, Million; however it is: das Dutzend), most inland rivers (Elbe, Oder, Donau; aber: der Rhein);
for neutrals: cafes, hotels, cinemas (das Mariott, das Cinemaxx), chemical elements (Helium, Arsen; however it is: der Schwefel, masculine elements have the suffix -stoff), letters, notes, languages and colors (das Orange, das A, das Englische), certain brand names for detergents and cleaning products (Ariel, Persil), continents, countries (die artikellosen: (das alte) Europa; however exceptions include: der Libanon, die Schweiz …).

Example sentences in German using Mond with translations in English.
[1] Phobos und Deimos sind die beiden Monde des Mars.
[1] Phobos and Deimos are the two moons of Marsä[1, 2] „Trifft das noch zu im Zeitalter der Weltraumfahrt? Dieses Wort ist eine maßlose Übertreibung, ebenso wie sein Synonym Astronautik. Es gibt eine Reihe von Vergleichen, die das anschaulich machen. Einer mag genügen: Wenn jemand am Alpenrand, etwa bei Grainau unweit Garmisch, in 900 m Höhe über dem Meeresspiegel steht und zum Gipfel der Zugspitze (2000 m über ihm) hinaufblickt, und wenn er seinen Hals reckt, um dort oben etwas zu erkennen, und wenn ihm dann ein hilfsbereiter Freund ein Blatt von 0,2 mm Stärke unter die Schuhe schiebt, »damit du etwas näher dran bist und besser sehen kannst«, so hat sich dieser Jemand damit dem Zugspitzgipfel nur um ein Zehnmillionstel der gegebenen Distanz genähert (1 km = 1 Million mm). Ein »Astronaut«, der den Mond betritt, hat mit der Reise von der Erde bis dorthin von der Entfernung, die uns vom sonnennächsten Fixstern trennt, noch weniger, nämlich 1 Hundertmillionstel, zurückgelegt. Andere Fixsterne sind millionen- und milliardenmal weiter entfernt.“
[1, 2] “If this still applies in the age of the space travel This word is an excess exaggeration, as well as its synonym astronautic there are a number of comparisons that make it clear. One may be enough: if someone stands at the edge of the Alps, for example at Grainau near Garmisch, at a height of 900 m above sea level and looks up to the summit of the Zugspitze (2000 m above it), and when they stretch their throat to recognize something up there, And when a helpful friend pushes a sheet of 0.2 mm thick under his shoes "so that you are a little closer and can see better", this someone has only approached the Zugspitz summit by a ten millionth of the given distance ( 1 km = 1 million mm). An "astronaut" that enters the moon has traveled even less, namely 1 hundred and millionth, with the journey from the earth to the distance that separates us from the sun's night. Other fixed stars are further millions and billions of times. "[2] Der Mond umkreist die Erde in einem durchschnittlichen Abstand von rund 384.000 km.
[2] The moon orbits the earth at an average distance of around 384,000 km.[2] „Der Auf- und Untergang der Sonne, des Mondes, der Lichtwechsel des Mondes, der Venus, des Saturnringes und viele andere bedeutsame Erscheinungen entsprachen ihrer Voraussage in den astronomischen Jahrbüchern.“
[2] "The up and down of the sun, the moon, the change of light of the moon, Venus, Saturnring and many other significant phenomena corresponded to their prediction in the astronomical year" "[2] „Seit den Apollo-Missionen kennt man magnetisiertes Mondgestein, der Mond muss also in seiner Anfangszeit vor rund vier Milliarden Jahren ein Magnetfeld besessen haben.“
[2] "Magnetized moon rock has been known since the Apollo missions, so the moon must have had a magnetic field in its early days around four billion years ago"[2] „Die wirkliche Bahn des Mondes ist außerordentlich kompliziert, da er sich mit der Erde um die Sonne bewegt und auch unser Sonnensystem als Ganzes nicht ruht.“
[2] "The real path of the moon is extremely complicated because it moves around the sun with the earth and our solar system as a whole does not rest"[2] „Der Mond war im alten Ägypten nicht beschaulich, sondern galt als eine aggressive und kämpferische Himmelsmacht, die die Kraft hatte, Ereignisse in Gang zu setzen.“
[2] "The moon was not tranquil in ancient Egypt, but was considered an aggressive and combative sky power that had the strength to start events"[3] Viele Monde gingen ins Land.
