As seen by an observer on the Earth, the Moon's apparent orbit is distinctly elliptical.
The orbit is subject to many perturbations and variations because of the Earth's
elliptical motion around the Sun, and the fluid tidal envelope sloshing around the
Earth.
The eccentricity of the Moon's orbit varies between 0.026 and 0.077 .
