Best Answer

An estimated 398,000 km3 (95,000 cu mi) of rain water falls over the oceans each year. This is approximately 78.8% of global annual precipitation. This makes sense because the oceans take up about 77.5% of Earth's surface area. If you do the math, the average annual precipitation for the ocean is about 1 meter (40 in.) per year.
