What does the moon mean on Artemis' head?
Artemis as the Olympian goddess (rather then a Titan as the two previous were) with a tie to Apollo, a widely regarded sun god - or god of light of the sun; she was then associated with the moon because such deities as sun and moon were often siblings, though Artemis and Apollo were the only twins of such nature. Mythology makes sense of this as it's in her bloodline, for her grandmother was Phoebe, the first Titan moon goddess.
What was the god Apollo famous for?
Apollo is the god of the sun, music, truth, and prophecy and is the twin of Artemis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt.
Why weren't the American moon missions called Apollo instead of Artemis?
I think that the American Moon missions were called either Appollo, in which case I think someone told you something wrong but if they were called Artemis then it is because the british moon missions were called Artemis. Which I think is better because Appollo is the Ancient Greeek God of harvest and the sun and Artemis is the ancient Greek God of the moon.
Who are the twins in mythology that ruled the sun and moon?
Apollo is refered to as the sun god, but sometimes it's a Titan named Helios that is called "the sun." Artemis (Apollo's twin sister) is the goddess of the moon, but sometimes a Titaness called Selene is refered to as "the moon." I don't know who is the ruler/god of the planets, but I hope this answered the majority of your question.

Largely because Apollo was very confused with Helios, the Titan god of the sun, where Apollo was only the god of the light (of the sun) originally. So of course Artemis was associated with Helios' sister, Selene, Titan goddess of the moon.
