Best Answer

The Moon has only one shape; it is round. Spherical, actually.

The appearance of the Moon changes depending on where the Sun is, and how the light is shining on it. When you are able to see the whole lighted part of the Moon, it is "full", and when you can only see the dark part, the Moon is "new". But it is round all Month long.
