Well, technically, yes - but not enough so that you would notice it. The Moon (and the Earth) are pretty much spherical, or ball-shaped. The Moon is just the tiniest bit lopsided, with extra mass on the far side. The technical term is "oblate", but you need sensitive instruments to detect the difference between the Moon's actual shape and "perfectly round".
The Earth isn't perfectly spherical, either. Because of its spin, the equator is lifted up a tiny bit, enough so that the diameter of the Earth from pole to pole is a little less than the diameter across the equator.
Again, the difference is so tiny that you could hardly detect it.

These two large peninsulas on the mainland of north america are pointed toward cuba?
The two large peninsulas on the mainland of North America that are pointed toward Cuba are Florida and the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Both of these peninsulas jut out into the Gulf of Mexico, with Florida being the southeastern most point and the Yucatán Peninsula being to the west of Cuba.
Earths gravity is large because earth has a large?
Mass.
Why do the trade winds cover a large part of the globe?
The trade winds cover a large part of the globe due to the Earth's rotation and the differential heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. As warm air rises at the equator, it creates a low-pressure area, which draws in cooler air from the subtropics. The Coriolis effect, resulting from the Earth's rotation, deflects these winds toward the west. This combination of rising warm air and the deflection caused by the Earth's rotation establishes the consistent, large-scale wind patterns known as the trade winds, which extend from the equator to about 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres.
Why does the earth have a atmophere?
Mainly because Earth has a large enough mass, and therefore a large enough gravity, to keep an atmosphere.
Why the earth does not move when i jump on the surface of it?
the earth is too large to move

How many stars appear on the flag of the Peoples Republic of China?
Five. The design is red with a large golden five-pointed star and four smaller golden five-pointed stars (arranged in a vertical arc toward the middle of the flag) in the upper hoist-side corner.
Which two large peninsulas on the mainland of North America are pointed toward towards Cuba?
florida and lousiana
Does a ball falling to earth violate conservation of momentum?
No. As a ball accelerates toward the Earth, the Earth is also accelerating to the ball. The Earth's acceleration is much too small to be detectable. But multiplied by the Earth's large mass, it is equal and opposite to the increase in the ball's momentum.
Why are all objects pulled toward the Earth?
All objects are pulled toward the Earth due to the force of gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of attraction that exists between objects with mass, and the larger an object's mass, the stronger its gravitational pull. The Earth's mass is large enough to exert a gravitational force on all nearby objects, causing them to be pulled towards its center.
What is a serac?
A large pointed mass of ice in a glacier isolated by intersecting crevasse's
What are colors of the Chinese flag?
The flag of China is red. In the top left corner is a large yellow star surrounded by 4 smaller stars that encircle the larger star to the right. All the stars are yellow.The Chinese flag is red with a large yellow five-pointed star and four smaller yellow five-pointed stars (arranged in a vertical arc toward the middle of the flag) in the upper hoist-side corner
What two large peninsulas on mainland of North America are pointed torward Cuba?
Florida and Louisiana
What is a large peninsula on the mainland of north America are pointed to china?
The large peninsula on the mainland of North America that points toward China is the Alaska Peninsula. It extends southwest from the mainland of Alaska and is situated across the Bering Sea from Russia, with the Aleutian Islands lying further west. The peninsula's geographic position makes it one of the closest points in North America to Asia.
Where do large scale weather systems develop and why are they important?
Large scale weather systems that transport surface cold air toward the tropics and surface warm air toward the poles.
Does a car have more gravity than earth?
No. The gravity of an object is directly proportional to its mass, meaning if you double the mass you double the gravity. Earth has more mass than a car does by an unimaginably large margin. Common sense also says no. Objects very readily fall toward Earth. They do not readily fall toward cars.
