What is the actual shape of the moon?

Answer by  AEF (519)

The moon, technically, is an oblate spheroid, as are all planets and most moons. An oblate spheroid is basically a rotated ellipse. Planets, and larger moons in our solar system, are all close to spheres so we use spheres as an approximation in most scientific calculations.

The moon is a sphere, just like the Earth. Like the Earth, it has mountains and valleys. In fact, the moon has many craters. However, its basic shape is round.
