As the moon circles the Earth, the shape of the moon appears to change; this is because different amounts of the illuminated part of the moon are facing us. The shape varies from a full moon (when the Earth is between the sun and the moon) to a new moon (when the moon is between the sun and the Earth).
it has different shapes like new moon(invisible),crescent,quarter,gibbous and full moon(round)....

It is roughly spherical but because of numerous craters it appears different.
