The terminator appears as a darkened crescent. As the Moon "wanes," the crescent straightens until at Last Quarter it becomes a straight line from pole to pole. Then, as the Moon continues to wane, the terminator becomes more and more curved, but in the opposite direction.

How do you know the moon is round?

We know the moon is round because of the way its surface appears when observed from Earth. Through telescopes and spacecraft, we can see that its shape is consistent with a sphere, curved in all directions. Additionally, the way shadows move across its surface during different phases further supports its roundness.

Why does the earth cast a strait shadow on the moon even though the earth is round?

The earth doesn't cast any shadow on the moon. The moon appears partially in shadow because sunlight only hits it from one direction at a time. It appears perfectly cut in two with a straight line when sunlight is hitting the moon from a 90 degree angle to the earth. The only time the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon is during a lunar eclipse, and in those cases, the shadow, like the Earth, is round.
