Don Juan Pond in Antarctica contains the saltiest water on earth. It has a salinity level of over 40%. It is over 18 times saltier than the ocean. It is saltier than both the Dead Sea and Lake Assal in Djibouti. It is so salty that it does not even freezes in winter.
The world's saltiest body of water is Don Juan Pond
I think that it is probably somewhere in the tropics. I know that the average ocean salinity (or the amount of salt in that body of water) is around 35ppt.
A basic answer is that the densest ocean water is the saltiest - a ship floats higher in salt water (sea) than in fresh water (lake). Also cold water tends to sink towards the ocean floor, or may form a layer mid way.
73% of the Earth is water, which is about 3/4.
It is more correct to say that water is on the earth. Though the surface of the earth is mostly covererd with water, the operative word is "covered." The water covers most of the earth's surface, so the water could be said to be sitting on the earth. Which it is.

Don Juan Pond in Antarctica is the saltiest natural body of water. Its salinity is over 40%.
No. It's the Don Juan Pond.
The Dead Sea is the saltiest body of water on Earth. It is also the lowest point on Earth, at 1300 feet (400 meters) below sea level.
No. The Atlantic Ocean is the saltiest ocean. The Dead Sea is the saltiest body of water, but it is not an ocean.
It's Don Juan Pond in Antartica. Believe me, it's NOT the Dead Sea.
Salt water. The Persian gulf is one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth.
It's not really a "sea", but a lake. It it is still not the saltiest body of water on earth. The title would go to Don Juan Lake in Antarctica.
