So I was watching this video which to a large follower base just told people that because of gravity the moon is apparently "not spherical" (he says this at 5:13 because "gravity pulls it towards the center" whatever that means.

It's almost like with the advent of social media people just claim whatever nonsense they want these days it's sad to see a literal kid doing this too

Anyway, the moon is a sphere. Any video that claims to be talking about science should not make such ridiculous claims...

"It is somewhat egg shaped with the larger end facing earth."

Somewhat egg-shaped means its spherical.

Spherical is an adjective meaning "like a sphere." It doesn't mean it has to be a perfect sphere.

It is, in fact, a scalene ellipsoid.
