No, a circle is a two-dimensional shape, whereas the Earth has three-dimensions.
Many people assume Earth is a sphere, however the Earth is wider at the equator than it is tall at the poles. This shape is described as an oblate spheroid.

∙ 10y agoThe shape of the Earth is actually a rather complex figure called a geoid, which just means "Earth-shaped". It's roughly an ellipsoid (which is itself pretty close to a sphere), but one where the Southern Hemisphere bulges just a tiny more than the northern one, making it very slightly pear-shaped (with additional bulges in various places).

What shape is the earths revolution?
If by revolution you mean the spin on it's own axis this is more or less a perfect circle. If you are referring to it's orbit around the sun, this is elliptical, not a perfect circle.
How do the earth rotates?
The Earth rotates in not a perfect circle around the sun but in a oval shape.

Explain the difference in the earths climate change when the earths orbit changes from elliptical to circular?
Earth's eccentricity Eccentricity is defined as the difference in shape between an ellipse and a perfect circle. In a similar fashion to Earth's obliquity, the more uniform Earth's orbit is (more like a perfect circle), the less difference there is in climate change throughout the year.
What is the shape of the earths shawdow on the moon during a lunar eclipise?
Of coarse..... a circle
When the moon is full what shape is it in the sky?
It is a nearly perfect circle.
What is elliptical orbits of planets?
About the same shape as an egg, or oblong. Not a perfect circle.
What is the shape of the orbit of the earth and other planets?
Oval or elliptical shaped. (Not a perfect circle)
How do the earth rotates?
The Earth rotates in not a perfect circle around the sun but in a oval shape.
How do Earth rotates?
The Earth rotates in not a perfect circle around the sun but in a oval shape.
What do you know about the shape of Earths orbital path around the Sun?
All orbits are ellipses. Earth's orbit is elliptical, with a fairly low degree of eccentricity. This means that while it isn't a perfect circle, it isn't very far off.
What shape is the world?
The world is a "oblate spheroid" because it is not a perfect circle. The Earth bulges out around the equator.
How can one draw a perfect circle shape?
You can take a round cup or glass and set it in the middle of the paper and then taking a pencil you can trace the outer edge of the cup. You should have a perfect round circle upon completion.
What is the moons shapes?
the moon isn't a perfect sphere its kinda like a oval in a way The shape of the moon is an oblate spheroid, just like earth
