Freshwater - about 40%
Saltwater - 60%
Freshwater makes up about 2.5% of the total water on Earth, while saltwater makes up about 97.5%.
Approximately 97% of the total amount of water on Earth is saltwater in oceans and seas, leaving only about 3% as freshwater available for use.
Less than 1% of Earth's water is liquid freshwater available for human use. The majority of the Earth's water is saltwater in oceans or frozen in ice caps and glaciers.
Earth has a limited amount of freshwater because most of the planet's water is saltwater in oceans. The remaining freshwater is contained in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers, leaving only a small percentage available for human use. Climate change and pollution are also putting additional pressure on the freshwater resources we have.
The ratio of salt water to fresh water on the Earth is approximately 40 to 1. The oceans are comprised of salt water.
97% of the water on the Earth is saltwater. Only 3% is freshwater.
There is much more saltwater than freshwater. All of the oceans are made up of saltwater for example.
Freshwater makes up about 2.5% of the total water on Earth, while saltwater makes up about 97.5%.
About 97% of the earth's water is saltwater, the the remaining 3% is freshwater.
Approximately 97% of the total amount of water on Earth is saltwater in oceans and seas, leaving only about 3% as freshwater available for use.
Saltwater has a higher density than freshwater.
There is by far more saltwater in the world. The oceans of the world are saltwater, and by volume the oceans compose over ninety percent of Earth's water.
Less than 1% of Earth's water is liquid freshwater available for human use. The majority of the Earth's water is saltwater in oceans or frozen in ice caps and glaciers.

Any freshwater on Earth is usable
The ratio of salt water to fresh water on the Earth is approximately 40 to 1. The oceans are comprised of salt water.
The two types of water found on Earth are saltwater, which is found in oceans and seas, and freshwater, which is found in lakes, rivers, and underground sources like aquifers. Saltwater contains high levels of salt and minerals, while freshwater has much lower levels of salt content.
