The orbit of the Moon around the Earth is elliptical. An ellipse is a flattened circle, much like an oval. The Moon takes just under a month to revolve around the Earth. Looking down on the Earth above the North Pole, the Moon revolves counterclockwise around the Earth, which is the same direction that the Earth rotates on its axis.
An ellipse. Very close to a circle though.
Unlike many other moons, the Earth's moon follows an elliptical orbit.
