What is the reason behind saying that earth is round?

The reason that we say the earth is round is because it is close to being so, or at least is amost spherical. Because of its gravity, earth became round when it formed. And it remains round today, except that is has a bit of a "bulge" in the middle (at the equator) because it is spinning about its axis of rotation. (The term usually used is oblate spheroid.)
