The earth is not perfectly round, but very slightly flattened at the poles, and with a very slight bulge at the equator - the shape is called "oblate". It is caused by the earths rotation on it's axis.
Jupiter, which rotates much faster than the earth has even more pronounced bulging at the equator and flattening at the poles. It is not really obvious to the eye, but can easily be measured with scientific instruments.
