Excellent question! It was made round by the force of its own gravity. There is so much material in the body of the earth that it tends to collapse toward the shape of a sphere. Imagine all of earth's mass formed into the shape of a rod 500 miles in diameter. As soon as it is formed, the ends of the rod would collapse, and the center of the rod, bearing the incredible weight of both ends, would collapse and explode outward. Gravity would settle the jumble of material into a sphere or sphere-like shape.
