the moon isn't a perfect sphere its kinda like a oval in a way The shape of the moon is an oblate spheroid, just like earth
half moon
A shape in the night sky is a star. It could also be a circle if the moon is the shape being referred to.
When half of the lighted side of the moon's surface can be seen, the moon looks like a half circle filled in. Any less than that, and the moon appears crescent-shaped. I suspect that you're not describing what you're imagining.
The moon is a sphere.
Half a circle is called a semi-circle. Sometimes it is called a half-moon.
The general term for the visible lit part of the moon is "the phase of the moon." The visible lit portion can have a crescent shape, a gibbous shape or a "half-moon" (half circle) shape.
it is similar to a half circle but it the half circle is connected from end to end and it is rotated 90 degrees to the left and or right
The half moon appears as a semi-circle or crescent shape in the sky. It is when only half of the moon's surface is illuminated by the sun, with the other half shadowed or in darkness.
A half moon appears as a semi-circle shape in the sky, with one side visible illuminated by the sunlight while the other side remains dark. It is the phase of the moon when it is halfway between a new moon and a full moon.
The phase of the moon that looks like a semi-circle a week after the full moon is called the Last Quarter Moon. It is when half of the moon's face is illuminated and the other half is in shadow.
moon in a space .this is also called satelite of the earth this shape is circle and

The shape of the moon appears as a sphere because it is a three-dimensional object. However, when viewed from Earth, we see different phases of the moon due to its position relative to the sun and our vantage point.
It will be a waning gibbous. The moon itself will remain the same shape it always has; spherical. However, from the Earth, it will resemble an oval-like shape; almost a half circle.
The semi-circle shape can be the 1st or 3rd quarter. Perhaps you would want to double check, but I believe that if the "flat" side of the shape is facing to the left, that is the 1st quarter; to the right - 3rd quarter.
A segment is not connected to the centre of a circle, it is the area bounded by a Secant (chord) and an arc. Draw a circle, draw a radius (centre to edge). Draw another radius. Where the radii join the circle edje draw a line joining the two points. This is the secant. You should be able to see a triangle and and a half moon shape. The half moon shape is the segment. The segment and the triangle make up a sector.
