About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water. Water also exists in the air as water vapor, in rivers and lakes, in icecaps and glaciers, in the ground as soil moisture and in aquifers, and even in you and your dog.

How does the water not fall from the earth if the earth is round?
The force of gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, keeping the water (and everything else) in place. The Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold down the water even when the Earth is round. The curvature of the Earth's surface also helps to keep the water contained within its oceans, lakes, and rivers.

How do comets affect life on earth?
Exobiology speculates that microscopic life originated elsewhere and was brought here by a meteorite sent off by some violent distaster, which while it has not been proven is very scientifically plausible, as germs and viruses have proven to be able to survive in outer space and there is a gigantic gash on mars (a planet with water likely to have once supported life) which could have sent such a meteorite into outer space. Also, since comets are thought to be made substantially of water ice, it is theorized that they are the primary source of earth's water. It may seem unlikely, but in the early stages of earth's development there were probably many, many more comets than there are today, and it is not impossible that enough comets could have collided with earth over millions of years to supply us with our water.
