The moon does have a slight wobble, and sometimes it's closer to Earth, while other times it's farther away. But the shape of the moon changes all the time - it's called "phases". Every month the moon goes from new (no moon at all), to crescent, to half full, to full - then it shrinks back to half moon, crescent, until it disappears into the sun's glare and becomes the new moon again.

Why do the sun and moon appear to be the same in size and shape?
The sun is approximately 400 times the size of the moon, however, it is also approximately 400 times farther away. This relationship cancels out and makes the sun and the moon appear observationally to be the same size on earth.
Why moon has different shape?
Erm, sentence fragment! It is always the same shape, it just phases. This is when the earth is blocking the sunlight from getting to the moon, and so shadows fall on it, making it appear to change shape. Please learn some grammar.
What is the same of the moon and earth?
the shape
What shape dose the moon appear to be when it is closer to the sun then earth?
The moon is never closer to the sun than to the earth. The apparent shape is based on the angle at which sunlight strikes the moon.
How many days do it take for the exact moon shape to appear?
Whatever moon phase you're looking at, it was the same 29.53 days ago, and it'll be the same again after another 29.53 days.
Are the earth and its moon the same shape?
no the earth is bigger than the moon
Is the sun and the moon the same size why do they appear to be the same size?
They appear to be the same size, as the sun is a very long distance away. The sun is many times larger than the moon.
How do you know if the moon is increasing or decreasing in the amount of light?
You can tell if the moon is increasing or decreasing in light by observing its shape in the sky. During a waxing moon, it will appear to be growing larger, while during a waning moon, it will appear to be shrinking. Additionally, a waxing moon will be visible in the evening, while a waning moon will be visible in the morning.
How many days does it take for the same moon to reappear?
It's always the same moon, but the shape of the visible lighted portion changes. Whatever shape of the moon you see right now, you'll see the same shape again after 29.53 days have passed.
Why moon is not a polygon?
A polygon is a two dimensional shape bounded by straight lines. The moon is neither a plane shape (though it may appear as such), and it is clearly not bounded by straight sides.
Why do the sun and moon appear to be the same size in the sky?
The sun and moon appear to be the same size in the sky because of an optical illusion called the Moon Illusion. This occurs when the brain perceives the moon as larger when it is closer to the horizon compared to when it is higher in the sky.
