Interesting facts that I did not know.... how about you?
Earth compared to all its water and air.
From space, Earth looks like a water planet, with oceans covering more than 70 percent of its surface with an average depth of 14,000 feet (4267 meters). However, if every drop of water in the world was collected into a sphere, it would be just 869 miles (1400 km) across – barely big enough to cover Eastern Europe.
The image also shows all the air in the atmosphere (5140 trillion tonnes of it) gathered into a ball at sea-level density.
