Eli5, if the earth isn’t perfectly round, why does it seem that way in pictures from space?

I’ve always asked this question but people don’t really know or just answer in ways I can’t really understand it so I was just wondering if somebody here knows why?

If the Earth was the size of a billiard ball, it would smoother than a normal billiard ball. The out of roundness is too small to see with the human eye (or anything like it) from space.
