True and there is no "why". All orbits are elliptical - that is just how it happens.
Remember that a circular orbit is only a special case of an elliptical orbit.
to a first approximation, the moon's orbit *around earth* is elliptical. it wobbles around a bit but is basically elliptical.
the moon's orbit around the sun is far from elliptical. it's a loopy cycloid thing.
what textbook/course are these idiotic questions from?
TRUE!!!!
All objects in the Cosmos move in elliptical orbits, and that includes the Earth round the Sun!!!
Yes, all (stable) orbits are elliptical. The Moon is no different.
It's true. To be circular, the moon would need to be equidistant from Earth at all times, and in fact, it's closer at some points in it's orbit than others.
The moon's orbit is elliptical to a good first approximation.
