You've Been Wrong About Earth's Water This Whole Time #ScienceFacts #Shorts

Someone says, “Earth is a water planet.” Reality: “All Earth’s water fits into a sphere far smaller than the Moon.” Comment: “And we still waste it.” Learn how surprisingly little water Earth really has compared to the size of our planet and the Moon — even though oceans cover ~70% of the surface. Total water on Earth (all oceans, ice, groundwater, vapor): ~1.386 billion km³, which would form a sphere only ~1,385 km in diameter — much smaller than the Moon (3,474 km). Why this matters: even though Earth appears “blue,” water volume is a tiny fraction of the planet’s size, and fresh, accessible water is just a small part of that.
