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.

The 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).
