The Moon moves around the Earth in a circular orbit, going once around the earth in approximately 27.3 days, or one sidereal period of revolution.
Answer:
circular
Explanation:
The moon orbits the earth in a nearly circular pattern every 27.3 days. The moon's orbit is tilted approximately 5 degrees off of the path of the plane of the ecliptic (or the path that the sun appears to trace across the sky), and orbits at a distance of almost 240,000 miles from the earth.
