You were looking at it in terms of position of the clock instead of position of the sun.

Or...

The earth were perfectly spherical.

It doesn't have to be spherical. As long as the surface profile is circular about its axis of rotation (which it is, so long as you ignore terrain 'noise') and the top half is the same as the lower half (which it also is).

Its actually not equal on the upper and lower halves.

Earth's bulge also makes the circumference of Earth larger around the equator than around the poles. The circumference around the equator is 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 kilometers), but around the poles it is only 24,859.82 miles (40,008.00 kilometers). The circumference is actually greatest just south of the equator, so Earth is slightly pear-shaped. Earth also has mountains and valleys, but these features are tiny compared to the total size of Earth, so the planet appears smooth from space.

But whats the actual difference? If its 0.0001% I'd hardly call it relevant.
