Is this a trick question? All water is on the earth. Except some scientists have discovered ice on a few planets, but not in it's liquid state.

What percent of all the water on the planet is fresh water?

Please rephrase - question does not make sense


How much of the earth is ready for use by humans?

Less than 1 percent of Earth's water is ready for use by humans. Earth is approximately 71 percent water but of all this water only about 2.5 percent is fresh water with the rest being salt water and thus not fit for human consumption. Of the 2.5 percent fresh water the majority of this is frozen in the polar icecaps, present in soil moisture or deep underground where it is out of reach.


What is the water area of the earth?

Approximately 75% of the Earth's surface is covered by saltwater oceans.About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water. But 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 much of earths surface is covered by salt water only?

Approximately 67.8% of earth's surface is covered by salt water while only 3% is covered by fresh water. In total, the earth's surface is covered by 70.8% of water.


Does water cover more or less than 50 percent of the earth's surface?

Water covers more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface. This includes oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes. The vast majority of this water is found in the oceans, which play a crucial role in regulating the planet's climate and supporting diverse ecosystems. Thus, it is accurate to say that water covers far more than 50 percent of the Earth's surface.
