Earth compared to all its water.
Water covers most of the planet's surface — about 70%. However, these oceans are shallow compared to the planet itself.
And only 0.5% of the Earth's water is available fresh water.
This image shows what it would look like if all of the water on the surface of the Earth was bunched into a ball. The radius of this ball would only about 700km, less than half the radius of our Moon.
