How Much Water is on Earth? - IMAGE

All of Earth's Water in a Single Sphere


This picture shows the size of a sphere that would contain all of Earth's water in comparison to the size of the Earth. The blue sphere sitting on the United States, reaching from about Salt Lake City, Utah to Topeka, Kansas, has a diameter of about 860 miles (about 1,385 kilometers) , with a volume of about 332,500,000 cubic miles (1,386,000,000 cubic kilometers). The sphere includes all the water in the oceans, seas, ice caps, lakes and rivers as well as groundwater, atmospheric water, and even the water in you, your dog, and your tomato plant.

It doesn't look like much. I guess its time to take the gas guzzler out for a spin to make some more water.

Dr Dutton is pulling our leg. Note what he said:

Note also his teardrop begins in Mormon City and ends at Westboro Baptist Topeka. Need I say more... Next Dr D will be trying to tell us Noah's Ark is true and all that water that covered even Mt Ararat would NOT cause the Earth to wobble off its axis. I'm a wake up to this wily Dr Dutton. Unless he can deliver us the formula he used to calculate that curved volume of water, his game's up. Dogs and tomato plants... hmph
