The Earth is a SPHEROID. A spheroid is a slightly flattened sphere. The circumference of the Earth about the Equator is slightly longer than the circumference about the Poles. This is because of centrifugal force pushing the Earth outwards at the Equator.
NB 'Round' does not indicate a dimension.
A 2-dimensional figure is a circle.
A 3-dimensional figure is a sphere.

The shape of molecules is determined by the number of bonding and non-bonding electron pairs around the central atom. The VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory is commonly used to predict molecular geometry based on electron pairs' repulsion. The arrangement of these electron pairs results in different molecular shapes such as linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, and more.
