It makes perfect sense that the Earth is measured slightly oblate due to the centrifugal force created by the Earths rotation and the gravitational pull of the Moon on the waters of the Earth. It is however to a very small degree in comparison to the size of the Earth and not likely to be noticed if you took a photograph of it from far away in space. Basically...the Earth is slightly oblate..but..not by much. It pretty much is still a sphere.
