Is the moon egg-shaped with the large end pointed toward earth?

Well, technically, yes - but not enough so that you would notice it. The Moon (and the Earth) are pretty much spherical, or ball-shaped. The Moon is just the tiniest bit lopsided, with extra mass on the far side. The technical term is "oblate", but you need sensitive instruments to detect the difference between the Moon's actual shape and "perfectly round".
The Earth isn't perfectly spherical, either. Because of its spin, the equator is lifted up a tiny bit, enough so that the diameter of the Earth from pole to pole is a little less than the diameter across the equator.
Again, the difference is so tiny that you could hardly detect it.

Mainly because Earth has a large enough mass, and therefore a large enough gravity, to keep an atmosphere.

Does a ball falling to earth violate conservation of momentum?
No. As a ball accelerates toward the Earth, the Earth is also accelerating to the ball. The Earth's acceleration is much too small to be detectable. But multiplied by the Earth's large mass, it is equal and opposite to the increase in the ball's momentum.
Does a car have more gravity than earth?
No. The gravity of an object is directly proportional to its mass, meaning if you double the mass you double the gravity. Earth has more mass than a car does by an unimaginably large margin. Common sense also says no. Objects very readily fall toward Earth. They do not readily fall toward cars.

what happens when gravity works on large drops of water?
The drops fall, traveling downward toward the center of the Earth, until they encounter either the ground or something else that obstructs their continued descent.
Where do large scale weather systems develop and why are they important?
Large scale weather systems that transport surface cold air toward the tropics and surface warm air toward the poles.
