Why we add "the" before Moon, Sun and Earth, but don't add it before Mar?
Thank you.

I agree. When we use it as the name, we don't use an article. The word can also be used with a meaning similar to 'that planet on which we live'; With the idea of 'planet' in mind, the article can be used.I agree (mostly) with 5jj but I would make an argument for "Earth" being the name of our planet too.
