It would look squashed if I stood far away from it

Like an oval

But the moon is always a sphere

or a circle

Well its technically the shape of a round shield or dinner plate turned upside down

We assume its a sphere

It would have to be a sphere

Why

In order to be viewed as circular from all angles

Wouldn’t it?

Umm

I guess it depends. Technically only certain places can see it at once

Yes

We live on a flat plain

Not the whole earth

But all of those places see a round moon

What does that even mean

If the moon were a flat disc, some people would see it as a squashed oval

They see a round moon at different times.

The people looking at it from the Side

No...

The moon is a transparent luminary and isn't round at all.

I dont think it works like that

It looks pretty round to me

nope not at all

It’s literally a circle?

I’m confused here

still doesn't mean were you live is round just because it is one dimension in visual

never been to the moon but both feet firmly planted on this plain

So is the moon a flat disc?

The moon is a luminary body on an elliptical within our atmosphere. It can not tell you that you live on a spinning spherical object with water strapped to the outside of it by a selective never proven theory called grabbity.

So...

Why does everyone see the same side of the moon

If it were close to the ground and above a flat plain, people would see different sides of it

Right?

because of a little lie they call a phenomena because it breaks all the rules called tidal looking which is a lie.

...

How can a sphere look the same from all angles

Even on a flat earth

If the moon actually was spinning on it's own orbit you would see a different slivers of it's whole surface every night for 27 nights until it returned it's face to you.

Not if the moon was spinning in sync with the earth
