How much of the earth’s mass is water?
AI Overview
Water makes up only a very small percentage of the Earth’s total mass, approximately 0.02%. While water covers a large portion of the Earth’s surface (around 71%), the majority of the planet’s mass is made up of the Earth’s solid interior, making water a relatively small contributor to the overall mass.
