well, you should ask, how round ISN'T the Earth
The flattening of the Earth is 1:298.25275 and would not be realized visually from space, since the difference represents only 0.335 % from a perfect sphere

The Earth is not really round it is a elipse shape, that means it's not really a circle or a oval, it's somewhat is between
Just think about this: would earth be able to sustain life as we know it now if it was any other shape

The Earth is an oblate spheroid. The equatorial circumference is perhaps 40 miles greater than the polar circumference. As a result, objects weigh more at the poles and less at the equator.

the only answer you would get is some really long decimal which you wouldn't understand, so why would you even ask? (btw, everyone knows the earth is actually more in the shape of a pear! DUUUH!!!) :O
