Well, honey, Newton rings are circular in shape because they are formed due to the interference of light waves reflected between a flat surface and a convex lens. The circular shape is a result of the varying thickness of the air gap between the two surfaces, causing constructive and destructive interference patterns. So, in simpler terms, those rings are just a fancy dance of light waves showing off their interference skills in a circular fashion.
