The actual shape of the moon is approximately spherical.

But it changes everyday.

The sun does not change its shape like the moon due to its size and the distance it is away from the earth. Moreover the shadow of the earth falls on one side of the moon partially or fully. This makes the changes in its shape. Also the moon does not have its own light to make the shadow of the earth to fall on the huge sun.
