Because one of them (Earth) is based on reality, and the other is a poorly done conceptual render because no human actually knows the shape of the landmasses on that planet on account of having never been there.
Have they considered zooming their telescope in enough until they can see for themselves firsthand?
I know you're probably joking but even the best telescopes can only directly image a planet that's like 10 times the mass of Jupiter and even then it's only like two pixels.
The hard part is that the stars create so much glare and planets are so small and faint that it's really REALLY hard to zoom in on them. Even with very powerful telescopes. It's probably straight up impossible actually. Like you can see them and get an idea of what they're made of (light spectrum analysis) but you're not going to be able to make out fine details like what the landmasses look like.
Since it's just perlin noise anyway... They should use gag landmasses for fun. See if anyone recognises Middle Earth or the Seven Kingdoms.
Isn't the 7 Kingdoms just England? With Scotland being north of the wall (which...LMAO at the implications on that one George)
Another earth, but it is all australia

Bro that's a PRIME sailing planet if I've ever seen on.
Earths oceans shores are largely extremely boring linear beaches. Especially along the Atlantic.
This plant would be prime for small cheap hobby costal sailing
We cant get a new planet if we cant take care of the one we got.
I wonder if it has plate tectonics. A big part of why our continents look like this is them. That said, yeah that's a lot of mid continent seas/great lakes

Kinda looks like Eurasia but with more holes
Anybody by chance know if there’s a Kepler-452b map for Civ V?
Will housing be cheaper there? Will taxes be lower? Will Trump be there? What about groceries?
Will you enjoy anything our universe shows you? Are there things that bring you joy in life? Will you touch grass? What about filling the void in your heart with wonder instead of worry?
