there are quite some moon gods. the eastern have a moon god, Tsukuyomi. The northwest coast American indians have a moon god observed as Snoqalm. The Eskimos have a moon god observed as Igaluk. In Hindu fantasy, Soma is the god of the waxing and waning moon. In sumerian fantasy, Nana is the moon god. Khonsu is the moon god in Egyptian fantasy. Yalungar is the moon god in Australian Aboriginal fantasy. There are plenty to settle on from, truly there are as many moon gods as there are moon goddesses, basically because the solar might want to be both a god or a goddess, relying on the myth device you ensue to be gazing.

First, you need to realize many cultures believe in multiple gods. Nobody can answer this question because we don't know which one you mean: Roman, Greek, Arabian, Egyptian, Aztec, Maya, Sumerian, etc?
Second, it's easy enough to use internet sources and books to look things up on your own. Get a grown-up to help you with your study skills.
Third, the knowledge really doesn't help, unless it can become a conversational topic. Learning history of a particular culture increases an understanding of a culture's background and helps us become more tolerant. Also, knowing more history creates a picture of what interactions caused the world of which we live in today.

Their are too many to list here as it depends on which particular one you want... Greek?, Roman etc.
try typing Moon (Mythology) into Wikipedia and you will get a whole host from all kinds of places. I am sure the one you need will be there.
By the way the most commonly known is Diana who I believe was the Roman Goddess of the moon.

In which culture?
Selene was the Roman goddess of the moon itself. Diana (Artemis to the Greeks) was also associated with the moon, and her twin Apollo with the sun.
In Celtic lore we have Cerridwen, Chinese mythos refers to Ch'ang O, and Native American tales speak of Changing Woman.
And then, in particular order or frame of reference, there are Ain, Circe, Hecate, Innana, Lucina, Luna, Pheobe, and the White Goddess, just to touch on a few more.
You might want to narrow your search a bit.

In mythology, a lunar deity is a god or goddess associated with or symbolizing the moon. These deities can have a variety of functions and traditions depending upon the culture, but they are often related to or an enemy of the solar deity.
This is a list of all the lunar deities in every culture:
