Best Answer

The moon is roughly a sphere, just like the earth.

During the moon's phases it may appear to be either a circle, crescent, half-circle, or other shape (called gibbous). This is caused by the shadow of the earth covering the moon by differing amounts at different times during the month, not by the moon actually changing shape.
