No the moon is actually oval shaped
Does the moon have a circular or elliptical orbit around the earth?
The moon's orbit around the Earth is elliptical, meaning it is not a perfect circle but rather an oval shape. This results in the moon's distance from the Earth changing throughout its orbit.
Is the Moon's orbit oval?
Yes, the Moon's orbit around Earth is slightly elliptical, meaning it is not a perfect circle. This results in the Moon being closer to Earth at certain points in its orbit (perigee) and farther away at other points (apogee).
Why does the moon look oval?
During its formation, the moon was molten liquid rock. In this state the matter was free to move in accordance to the forces acting on it, so it formed into a shape combining the all-directions inward gravity of its mass (which alone would form a perfect sphere) and the perpendicular-to-axial centripetal force from its spinning once per 27.3 days (which alone would form a two dimensional expanding disk). This combination was an oblate spheroid. From Earth, this shape appears as an oval. Alternatively, when near the horizon, the Earth's atmosphere distorts the image of the Moon through diffraction of light, resulting in its apparent compression and an oval shape.
What does warning gibbous mean?
Answer 1: first of all - it is not warning gibbous, it is waning gibbous which means the moon has just passed the full moon phase gibbous means oval shaped so outside on a clear night right after the moon is full and you see that oval shape there it is Answer 2: The "waning (pronounced wane-ing like "raining") gibbous" (not "warning") refers to the phase of the moon where more than half its apparant circle is visible, but it is gradually decreasing toward its last quarter, then last crescent, then new moon A waxing gibbous refers to the phase following the first crescent (after the new moon), and the first quarter, before becoming a full moon To "wax" is to increase, to "wane" is to decrease. In the case of the phases of the moon, this means to increase in visibility, or to decrease in visibility.

How do you spell lunar ellipse?
The likely term sought is "lunar eclipse" -- Earth's shadow over the Moon -- although the orbit of the Moon is an ellipse(oval path).
Does the moon have a circular or elliptical orbit around the earth?

What shape will the moon be on the 22nd of March 2011?
It will be a waning gibbous. The moon itself will remain the same shape it always has; spherical. However, from the Earth, it will resemble an oval-like shape; almost a half circle.
What shape is the blue room in the white house?
