You are wrong ---The Earth is only .02% water
Socratic Q & A ^ | 01/20/2035 | Me, myself and I

About 71% of the Earth's surface is water, though it only makes up around 0.02% of the planet's total mass.

Just like the dems’ brains are only .2 percent working.

Europa is a moon of Jupiter. It is on the Left. Notice how it has even more water than Earth. Good chance it has life too but it's hidden under miles of ice . Very exciting target of future exploration.

Mars is the hip place to imagine people colonizing . The problem is very little water . Trade with Europe could solve that problem . ( Also split up that water to liberate oxygen into that very thin atmosphere)

Trade with Europa. Trade with Europe would be something else.

I don’t live in the molten iron core or the rocky interior.
I live in the middle of the biggest ocean on the surface of earth.
I like my place despite the lack of mass.

That little ball of water is obviously not the correct scale.

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS – EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE.

I should know, I went to high school with Keir Dullea’s wife. I was lucky enough to go to two high schools, one with Mark Hamill, and the other with Mia Dillon. Both actors and both leftists, of course.

Here in my small town there are two places where mass is available on a regular basis. Since I belong to the One True Faith 🙂‍↔️ (Lutheran of course), however, I get weekly Eucharist elsewhere.

(Yes, I'm kidding about the OTF, but that is a subject for another thread.)

Not accurate. Not even close.

But point taken.

That’s plenty. I think we’ve got all the water that we need.

I live in the middle of the biggest ocean on the surface of earth.

So, how is life on a yacht? I've never been on one but I'd like a tour sometime when you port.

Here are some calculations based on the following: radius of earth=4000 miles, 71% of earth is covered in oceans, and average depth of oceans=3 miles, all water in the oceans could be packed in a ball with a radius of about 470 miles. The fresh water (lakes and rivers) ball would be much, much smaller. The pics look about right to me.

Is that just surface water? Because there is up to three times as much sub-surface water locked in rock layers than is in our usual hydro-cycle.
