The moon does not have a gender in English. It is considered neutral.

However, gender assignment to the moon varies depending on the language:

Language Gender Example
German Male "Der Mond" (The Moon)
French Female "La lune" (The Moon)
English Neutral "The Moon"

This gender assignment is purely grammatical and does not necessarily reflect any perceived characteristics or attributes of the moon. According to provided reference, "In German it's “Der Mond" which is Male. In French it's “La lune" which is female. English has no gender for the moon, it's neutral".
