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.
Why is the earth called the 'blue planet'?
71% of the Earth's surface is water-covered and the oceans hold about 96.5% of all Earth's water. Not only that but there's water in the air, icecaps, glaciers, the ground and even in you. So compared to other planets, the amount of liquid water is quite visible.
